Not sure I understand some of the negative comments here about the EU. If Microsoft break EU law, the US government have no business trying to interfere with the legal process. The news doesn't surprise me however. Even the US courts found Microsoft guilty of breaking the law, but when it came to punishment they mysteriously backed down. Seems like if you're big enough in the US, you can actually be found guilty of breaking the law and still get away with it.
