Last week, the European Commission announced that Microsoft is willing to implement a browser ballot screen in Windows so that users can select a browser to install when installing Windows or when setting up their OEM computer. While this makes Opera very happy, Opera would like to see Ubuntu and Apple offer such a ballot screen too.

When the EC says that it's not sufficient to restore competition, that's because they don't find it to be sufficient to restore competition. Even a dishonest Microsoft shill would understand that.
Of course Microsoft will be fined if it ignores the EC verdict!
The bottom line is that the EC did not think removing IE was an appropriate remedy. Simple as that.
The VIOLATOR doesn't get to decide his own punishment, you know.
Now you are getting all confused again. Microsoft did break the law, as is clear from the facts. And the proposed measures are neither extreme nor stupid. Only a brainwashed MS shill would claim otherwise.
The EC actually does something, unlike the fascists who turned the case on its head in the US because a new president inserted fascists who preferred to reward anti-competitive behavior.
The EC does it properly. It looks at the facts, and comes to a verdict. You are just dishonestly trying to spread FUD about the EU because of your fascist leanings.
It is clear that Microsoft broke the law. Unless you are a dishonest or ignorant MS shill, of course.
