Story: Microsoft's EU proposal is monstrous, says Samba

The EU's decision was bound to happen.
You have two conflicting philosophies here. One is the Union or a mob rule of countries demanding more control of a company’s product. Two you have a company that wants to reap the rewards of the products it creates. Why else would it produce?
Each and every person has a choice to buy Microsoft Windows. Leave it up to the end consumer to decide. Let them make the choice. Just like you should let Microsoft make the choice to sell their products as they please. It is by all means 'their' product.
I think Microsoft is an amazing company. I gladly purchased their software. If there is other non-Microsoft software then I would buy it too. But let me decide and let Microsoft decide.
