jimboid and others wrote in about a new antitrust complaint filed against Microsoft in the European Union, concerning Windows XP (all previous litigation has concerned earlier versions of Windows). The BBC and Sydney Morning Herald have articles about the complaint.

I always assumed a lawsuit against them in the US would be world-wide...

Only an American would think this way.

I would say that at least 70% of the people viewing this site are on a windows OS

Yea! I'm in the 30% minority!!

It's a simple fact folks, we owe a lot to Microsoft... ...about $20 billion according to their piracy figures. Alright everybody, PAY UP. I know you just lost your job and the kids need new shoes, but that $499 copy of Office you 'borrowed' from Frank next door is going to haunt your conscious untill you settle. Nevermind that you HAVE to send out .DOC format resume's to find a job anymore. You owe it to them buster.
