"Microsoft was fined a record 899 million euros (USD 1.35 billion) by the European Commission on Wednesday for using high prices to discourage software competition in the latest sanction in their long-running battle. The executive arm of the European Union said the U.S. software group defied a 2004 order from Brussels to provide the information on reasonable terms. Microsoft has now been fined a total of 1.68 billion euros by the EU for abusing its 95 percent dominance of PC operating systems through Windows."

You're obviously biased. I don't know if you're some person from EU who's just angry coz he had to pay a tax which wasn't there before, or a foreigner who just doesn't like the EU, but you're quite obviously biased.

Stop trying to shoot the messenger. What are the EU's successes?
