What does Microsoft's European defeat mean?

Well said.

I agree to the points mentioned however I would add

1. Investigate the stongarm tactics that MS has used as common buisness practice for decades.

2. Investigate the "Windows Tax"

Why oh why is it SO hard to buy a PC without Windows bundled ?

3. Investigate the "Windows Tax"

Why is it when Dell sell a machine with Linux bundled, it costs $20 more ?

Can you really tell me this doesn't stink of corruption ?

I can just hear the line now, "Yeah ok ship Linux (because you have to) but a. Make it difficult and b. Make it an unattractive deal

I repeat the whole thing stinks.

Money gets you everywhere, when you can buy the most expensive lawyers.

I remember some time ago finding an extra £2 on my Sky bill.

When questioned this we were told if was for the fantastic Sky Magazine.

You then say "I don't want it" and ask them to neither send it or bill you this publication that is so good that I might as well build a garbage chute from the letterbox to the bin.

Only to be told that is MANDATORY.

And as usual, the big guy gets away with it.
