Where does the EU get off telling a American Company what they can and can't do there is a little thing we call free enterprise here in america and we are aloud to have product confidentiality if people want to develop something they can develop it on their own stop freeloading off other companies...

Where does the EU get off?

The EU isn't a single person. And its not like they are all getting high and mighty off telling one company to stop monopolizing. And MS isn't a company, it's a corporation. A multi-billion dollar one at that. And it doesn't matter if it is american or not either.

The EU telling MS "what they can and can't do" isn't the issue either. Its the monopolization by packaging WMP with windows that is the issue here.

They've had problems like this before...this is another episode.

Also, with the upcoming Longhorn MS is going to become even more controlling of personal computers. You will no longer have control over what you have in your machine and they have the right and capability to remove anything they want at will. MS needs to be taken down a few pegs, or else computers are gonna go all to shit real fast.
