Microsoft Defies EU Commission
otahkgeek writes "Wired News is reporting that Microsoft claims that by removing Windows Media Player from Windows, it would be forced to ship a substandard version to European consumers. This is on the heels of a three-day hearing by a European commission to determine the validity of charges that Microsoft illegally abused its power over the home computer market."
Obviously the EU is gonna loose this battle. If they meddle in the affairs of Microsoft, they might just get themselves bought out. Honestly now, who has more power.. the sissy EU, or the mighty Microsoft! muahaha! Capitalism is Unstoppable!
As a matter of fact, they've been shipping this to the world since 1985.

Imagine I was a crooked monopolist. Imagine, too,that I was Microsoft. But I repeat myself.
Seriously, can Microsoft sell a substandard version of a substandard product?
All you Windows Haters out there better wake the fuck up and realize Microsoft has won.
Won what ? Was there a contest to begin with ?
I could win every contest if i bought out the judges too.
