honestly think Microsoft will get banned here?

all that Cruz (however she is called) does it look at the market and say "Microsoft has too much market" blablablabla and it's "unfair" to other companies like whatever they had first with Windows Media Player...

so they fine them 899 million euros, what was it 1/3 of Microsoft profit last year?

we think "who fucking cares?" and if you "don't like it don't buy it"... not the money trippers my friend, I mean everybody loves porn in AU too I imagine, yet they ban that.., (however that ban is held up, I dunno, if its even true)
I would cry so hard if MS was banned here... I don't want linux...
even if the EU would propose such a stupid thing it is still up to the individual countries.

Finland & The Netherlands would just have to say "up yours BRUSSELS!"

then we get fined 500 billion euros for "unsportmanship"
Finland isn't very good at screwing EU though...

Yeah but if you burn down the one in America, and I burn down the one in England, and Michael Jackson is innocent. Then that makes more than 1.

I suggest the European Commission sues all the game companies to make sure they're cross-platform. Then I won't care if MS gets banned

By your logic, I could come into your country and shoot up a mall, and claim "I'm not from here."
It doesn't matter where you're based, if you sell a product, you have to cope with the laws in that place.
Homicide and shady business isn't exactly a fair comparison. The United States falls victim to this stuff all the time. It's one of the reasons NAFTA has the American worker grabbing their ankles.

Microsoft vs. Europe. Who will win!? Actually I think MS' lawyers will find a loophole or something of that nature and avoid the payment.
