Comment How will Microsoft pay? (Score 1) 1186
Okay, so Microsoft is finally getting punished! Woohoo!
But wait... they own 600 million to Europe. Where will they get that money from? Well, I'm not buying a MS product, so probably from charging the United States government $3500 per Windows 2010 license, monthly. So basically your U.S. tax dollars will be sent to Europe. Woohoo!
It's like that whole cigarette fine. You need to pay millions of dollars because you sold dangerous cigarettes, and the best way to raise millions of dollars is to sell more cigarettes.
Hmmm
