New Blow for Microsoft in EU Row

twitter writes "The BBC is reporting on a stinging rebuke to Microsoft and their last defensive move in the EU anti-trust trials. Boston district court judge Mark Wolf accused Microsoft of trying to 'circumvent and undermine' European Law by requesting Novell documents. The story reminds us that last month, a federal judge in California denied subpoenas of Oracle and Sun for the same reasons, that a New York judge is currently considering a request against IBM and that Microsoft will be appealing their March 2004 conviction next week and may face millions of dollars of fines a day. New complaints were made just two months ago."

    Why should they. They own many more politicians here in the US.

    Look MS doesn't care about anything other then their money. They will do anything and everything to win. They have no ethics, morals or any guiding principles other then "make more money". That's it, end of story.

    Citizen rights don't apply to a captured combatant, as stated by all international conventions on the matter.

    Don't want to be held without knowing your charges and presumed innocent? Maybe next time try not picking up a gun and getting caught in combat.

    Americans no longer have the right to bitch about human rights or democracy (if they ever did); the sheer, galling hipocracy will merely encourage the rest of the world to hate them more.

    The same with the U.N., whose oil-for-food scandal meant they were in bed with an Iraqi dictator while criticizing the "human rights" behavior of the U.S.

    the sheer, galling hipocracy will merely encourage the rest of the world to hate them more.

    Most of them hate America out of jealousy and spite.
