Microsoft Responds to EU With Another Question

Posted by Zonk on from the dismantling-from-the-ground-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has responded to the latest round of EU requests by asking how much the EU thinks they should charge for Windows Server Protocols. The EU has stated the Microsoft should charge based on 'innovation, not patentability' and that they have 'examined 160 Microsoft claims to patented technologies' concluding 'only four may only deserve to claim a limited degree of innovation.' The EU is also starting to discuss structural remedies as opposed to the behavioral remedies they are currently enforcing. At what point has/will the EU overstepped its bounds?"

    Would it not be a good idea to keep doing this to see if we can break Slashdot? How many levels deep can we go?
