I had to go over to the Bloomberg website myself...it IS there, under Politics. Here are the last few sentences:
A trade group in the U.S. representing Microsoft Corp. and AOL Time Warner Inc. said the main issue is how the EU seeks to enforce the order.
``There's never been a question about whether these products could be taxed,'' said Mark Nebergall, president of the Software Finance and Tax Executive Council, which represents Microsoft. ``The question is how they enforce it.''
I don't think they realize that it is impossible to implement this taxation, perhaps they were just trying to look less than intelligent.
