This is all just to get at MS, in my opinion. I agree that Media player and other applications are tied too tightly into the OS, and the EU has a right to dictate what can and can't be sold in the EU--just like any government.

This does sound like opportunism, though.

Rrrrrrright. Like it's okay for the EU to promote and extend Airbus as a fully-subsidized monopoly against Boeing, which has to actually compete for contracts. No sale, dude. The EU Antitrust Council is nothing more than a racketeering operation. They favor European countries over foreigners. There's no such thing as fair play in Europe. They're a bunch of scam artists -- and it's the only way that they can support their failing socialist regimes...
