EU satisfied With Microsoft's Antitrust Plan

Posted by timothy on from the yeah-that's-ok-then dept.

rcrc writes "According to Reuters, Microsoft's proposal to avoid paying a fine of $5 million a day has almost been approved by the European Union in a long-running antitrust case. The case deals with the interoperability between the Windows PC and servers. The next step is for the proposal to be "market tested" with other industry players before a final assessment is given by the EU."

    The next step is for the proposal to be "market tested" with other industry players before a final assessment is given by the EU.

    (Some time in the future...)


    EU: OK...our market testing period is over....what do you say, other industry players?

    Other Industry Players: (cringing under a withering stare from Microsoft) Oh yes...the proposal is very reasonable...most acceptable...

    EU: Are you OK? What happened to your face?

    M$: He fell down some stairs.

    OIP: (stammering) I fell down some stairs.
