Story: US Government 'lobbied EC' over Microsoft fine
Posted by: Anonymous (Wednesday 27 September 2006, 11:48 AM)
US tax dollars should rather be spent on antitrust enforcement, and generating relief for the excesses of Microsoft on the American market. The exchange of Bill Gate's support for W's first election for dropping the Microsoft Antitrust suit was the quid pro quo that got us into the mess we're in today. Micosoft is one of the biggest contractors to the military in Iraq, and has benefited enormously from the 'networked Battlefield' which is losing the war and sucking taxpayer dollars. Governmet of the Rich, By the Rich and For the Rich. Good work, EU. Make open-system samba the EU standard.
