If I were Microsoft, I wouldn't even sell in Europe until they they agree I could do business there on MY terms. When the Europen consumers start their wailing and knawing of teeth, the Commission will give in. Seriously, the XP reduced version has sold what, 1,000 copies? And that's only the number that stores have bought to sell, I doubt half of those were actually sold. Europe needs Microsoft more then Microsoft needs Europe and makin' 'em sweat a bit is what they deserve after what they did.
