Micro$oft punished for 500 Million €/$ by EU
The European Commission (maybe the highest institution of the European Union) punished m$ to pay a 500 million € (over the thumb thats the same value in $ ) for abusing its monopoly power
thats the highest value ever used by the commission mainly thats the case because of m$ windows media player instelled by default on all windows systems (used to push its wm9 crap formats, in a more and more important market) read more (german) now we have it from the official side what type of company m$ is. i hope this will soil their reputation and help open source alternatives they deserve it!!! and my personal opinion dont use the windows media formats!!!
