Opposition Continues to the Proposed MS Ballot Screen

[Zen00]

Blah Blah Blah, Whine Whine Whine.

PHOOEY!!!

Microsoft has conceded a huge amount so far and your still not satisfied. Really if I was on the EU team, I'd just throw the whole case out at this point and say if you can't be satisfied, then you get nothing.

Neelie Kroes, the European competition commissioner, has said she is prepared to take Microsoft to court and assess fines if the company, the world’s largest software maker, did not agree to a fair settlement. But Mrs. Kroes is likely to step down from the European Commission by year’s end, and has said she wants to settle open cases before leaving.

Obviously trying to make a name for herself before her terms over.

What a complete and utter waste of time. It seems that the EU are singling out Microsoft for being a successful company. At the end of the day, the EU and the browser companies can say what they like, but it is the end users who will finally decide what browser to use and they will most likely choose the one that they themselves are more familiar and comfortable with.
