I'm certainly no MS fan but it seems to me all the Europeans have really done is to create an impossible situation in order to extract a huge amount of money from them.

"We don't like you so we're going to do anything we can to hurt you" doesn't seem to be a very appropriate way for a "court of law" to operate. We'll see what happens in the appeal i guess.
No - what they are doing is forcing MS to allow for better Linux compatibility. Right now, all you have is a closed sourced monopoly that forces competing system to reverse engineer things such as Samba just to talk to a MS box. So, from the evidence of the facts, I disagree with your assesment.

-S
Whatever.
Both the American court of law and European court of law found the same evidence, so are you discounting that? Only diff is, Europeans are doing what they said they would do while the US is backing off on its initial requirements which included breaking the company up! I always found the European solution a better plan of action than actually breaking the company up however and it is good the way things turned out.

-S
Has nobody told you that if someone says "whatever" in a discussion that he doesn't want to discuss it any further because he's run out of arguments?
