M$ ought to just tell the EU to live without Windows and Office from now on.
Damn' straight, as should ANY company that has a Government or "Union" trying to tell them how to build and sell their product.
Oh wait, we have that happening here in the US with the Gub'mint and the Detroit big-three!
The day the Government tells me how to run my business is the day I tell them how much it costs to buy it. If they refuse to buy my business so they can run it as THEY see fit, then I tell them to go piss up a rope.
You said — “M$ ought to just tell the EU to live without Windows and Office from now on.”
That would be cool. They could start using the Apple office package and Mac OS X. That would be a boon to Apple...
