EU Finds Microsoft Guilty Of Abusing Monopoly

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday January 28, 2004 @06:04AM from the off-with-head dept.

cabalamat2 writes "The European Commission's draft report on Microsoft says they are guilty of abusing their monopoly position. The ruling proposes that Microsoft be fined; the amount of the fine will be decided in March or April, and the maximum fine permitted is 10% of Microsoft's global turnover, about $3.2bn. Microsoft are allowed to appeal against any judgement that goes against them, to the Court of First Instance, and it's expected they will do so, to drag out the process as long as possible."

"Socialism is Death [econlib.org]"

If this is true, let us revise some titles, shall we?

"Soclaiism Takes a Holiday"
"Socailism Becomes Her"
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Socialism"
"Socialism to Smoochy"
"Socialism of a Salesman" ...and Charles Bronson's interminable "Socialism Wish" series.

Don't forget that sequel to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure where they meet Socialism himself.
