US govt. sides MSFT on EU - High Time!
[Click on title for link to original article]
"We have complied, and we are willing to do more," he said. "But we cannot do it alone. Interoperability in our industry happens through dialogue and engagement, not through fines."
This should make sense. Why is the EU suddenly so flagrant about compliance? Are they trying to mimic George Bush's pre - emptiveness? For several reasons, that would be a bad idea.
Why is Europe becoming the nag of progress? They seem to have a history of having a problem with anything that does not originate in Europe. This seems to escalate when it comes to US and high technology...microsoft, Apple, Apple and more Apple.
Why?
I think its mostly the risk of non - retaliability. What good comes out of the EU nowadays? And, democracy and people's choice seem to be forgotten and ignored themas nowadays.
If people didn't like MS or Apple, if people thought they were unfair, then the people would worry about it.
Yes, it makes sense to bring antitrust trials.
But what kind of a clownish system of justice does it become when you fail to run it in open. Exactly what could have been in those letters that the EU commissioner won't release it? Were they sending the analyst happy, old MS jokes to humor him?
What is going on EU? You know you are an old horse, the only reason why people are interested in you is because, you are still a market, dead or alive. Don't make people lose any interest they may have in you..
This problem is also partly because the idiot press in the US pays too much attention to China, crying about how the US companies are pussyfooting to the demands of the Chinese Government.
Well what about the EU?
$2 million dollars a day? It is not just funny, it is hilarious...
