1. Comment - Microsoft Slapped with 280.5m Euro Fine

   I,as a North American, living in Canada, would be in agreeement that MS should lower the price of their OS. On the other hand, one reason I have never bought a Mac is because of the proprietary hardware required (tho' there was a brief period before Jobs cama back where there were attempts a cloning or whatever). Linux has never been a real option for many, because of the lack of Photoshop type apps, the GIMP not being sufficient. I think I see tho' a lot of gloating here by EU types, who think the big evil empire, led by Darth Ballmer, is getting it's comeuppance from the rebel EU Skywalker force. Most of it of course is founded in envy.I would tell the EU that if they don't like M$ business model, they're free to fund any other one of their choice and see if they can on their own, develop a success story like Gates did. It's like those who slag, say, (name a major musical artist here), because they're hugely successful and say they're not fans of this music. Fine! don't buy it! But unless you can go out and write hit after hit, shut up! The old saying should be amended to: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, b**** and moan and devise ways to inflict penalties.
