EC Reviews New Complaints Against Microsoft
Rob tells us that while Microsoft may still be fighting against existing antitrust sanctions the European Commission is already reviewing new complaints made against the software giant. From the article: "European Commission spokesperson, Jonathan Todd, confirmed that the competition commission is considering the complaints but said that no decision has been taken on a course of action, adding that the commission does not have to wait for formal complaints to take action against a company it suspects of anti-competitive behavior."
I say get Peter Mandleson to flail the very financial flesh from M$'s rotting, stinking bones!! This should be referred to Berlusconi ye olde Italian way. That rich, corrupt fucker must be good for something! I say we RISE UP and get SIR ALAN SUGAR on the case and SMASH Ballmer and Gates and the little microserfs like the chaff they surely are in a just universe. And if it isn't just, then NUKE EM using "special powers" granted by the member states!!! Let's get some Continental balls and play it OLD SKOOL! Bwahahaaaaaaaaaaa!
Actually jack ass they aren't bigger. The EU hase a larger population, but not a larger economy. They are second to the US, but not before even with the extra 15 nations. Do some homework before spreading fud, moron. That said, it is interesting that this threat of a new MS suit comes just as all of the old Europe nation's economies are tanking. For example unemployment rates in France and Germany are through the roof, and no sign of recovery on the horizon. It looks like the socialist experiment is failing once again. I'm sure the EU meeting went like this, "We need cash, lets rape the Americans; they only gave us electricity, phones, internet, cars, planes, etc. etc. You know, pretty much everything that has radically changed the face of the mankind in the last hundred years. Oh and gratitude, screw it, who cares that they lost 10,000s, of 10,000s of young men bailing us out of two world wars last century, we don't like Bush now. Gratitude, that's not trendy, "evil Americans" is. Don't get me wrong, I don't think MS is a saint, but neither is the corrupt EU. This is clearly Europe looking for some US charity in the form of corporate theft.
