Microsoft is bad enough, but the prosecutors trying to punish MS are even worse. Fining them for 3 million franks? WTF! That's pocket change. But even worse was back in the anti-trust case when the DA wanted to cut them the stupidest deal ever: to let them off so long as they provide computers to schools. No wonder MS is out of control, only every jack ass with a law degree is being sent to try them.

Serves them right. Now if they would only enforce the law against all the other pirates, we'd be making progress.

The sad thing is the company they ripped off went bankrupt. Not sure if this is b/c of the lawsuit or their own failings, but sad none-the-less.
