Microsoft Fails to Comply With EU Requirements
sebFlyte writes "ZDNet is reporting the news that the EU has rejected Microsoft's attempt to wriggle out of it's legal obligation to open up Windows protocols. Microsoft was attempting to bypass the regulation by offering a license totally incompatible with the GPL and which has an absurdly high fee attached. If Microsoft don't come up with a solution that the EU finds acceptable, then they can be fined $5m a day. They've also got some commentary on why Microsoft's behaviour cannot be allowed to stand." The BBC has commentary as well.

Stick Balmer in a Room with RMS.

Make Balmer listen to RMS until all problems are sorted.
Should take about 30 second, oh or Balmers head may explode.

Doesn't you moron! DOESN'T!
That's "Sir William" to you, peasant.
The question in your mind should be - is what Paris Hilton does considered "employment?"
