I just hope that the EU can finally bring down the Micro$oft empire that threatens competition in a market trying to be free. Their behavior is absolutely disgusting and unwarranted in a free market system, which is exactly why the EU must do everything they can to bring them down, because Ashcroft won't.
They must be stopped. We are ruled by a corporate oligarchy!
From the BBC >>>>Microsoft responded to Friday's decision by insisting that it was "committed to resolving these issues in a constructive way so that we can focus on long-term growth and innovation for consumers", and said it would review the judge's decision.
"The issues in this case are significant, not only for Microsoft but for the industry and consumers," said the consumer giant's spokesman Vivek Varma.
US Attorney General John Ashcroft hailed the verdict as a "major victory for consumers and businesses".
Mr Ashcroft said it would mean other companies "are encouraged to develop and deploy new middleware technologies with full confidence that their efforts will not be impeded by anticompetitive practices."
Microsoft shares fell 2.3% or $1.16 and closed at $52.30 ahead of the judge's announcement which was made after the markets closed.
They later recovered in after-hours trading.
"So what bone do you think they will through us? What I mean is will they give some out-dated API set for IE integration and say that they are going over and above the antitrust agreement or what?"Just wait they won't even give that much.
"A real tugboat would be very cool indeed -- something which could grab a satellite, move it up back into the correct orbit, and then let go and move on to the next satellite"
Isn't sad that what "We the People" built for "We the People" isn't being used for the benefit of "We the People" but instead the benefit of greedy executives at corporations who want to control "We the People" and have bought out the majority of the government that "We the People" voted in.
