Maybe so, but eating two large pizzas for lunch isn't actually going to help.
Like they say on the net; if you're fat, don't try to sugarcoat it - because you'll just end up eating that too.
The XP-N proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the PEOPLE of the EU, the ones that the courts are supposed to be serving? Yeah, they don't want Windows without WMP.
In case this comes out as a surprise; if the stores don't order XP-N, people will never get it. And why should stores order lesser product, particularly as it was priced the same as "better" version of the same OS? Sure, you can request it to be ordered, but Microsoft never went out of the way to mention that the whole version even existed. So the demand wasn't really there. Please don't draw EU citizens into this. We didn't go around shouting that Americans hate Bush and want him out of power. Please offer us the same courtesy, particularly as the courts here do ok job.
You seem awfully exited of some foreign court order from five years ago. I suggest you go around and check what your local judges are up to, and let us Europeans work with our legal system, all right? After all, you seem to be raging because Microsoft gets fined and asked to do some stuff that ended up not working. You seem to mistake that just because Slashdot only reports EU/Microsoft court news, there are no other news. I can assure you that most of the "milking" comes from local companies.
Nowhere did the summary say EU. European != EU.
Yes, apparently it's the same problem as with America != USA.
Few more years, and I can successfully argue that Norwegians, Swiss and Macedonia aren't European!
Oh boy! I can hardly wait!
Actually, I think this entire cocaine scandal is a brilliant marketing campaign by RedBull. I've got a feeling their sales are about to go through the roof.
Not in Germany, they wont.
