The European Commission has threatened to fine Microsoft up to 2m euros [$2.4m] a day until it gives rivals more access to its systems. Brussels said the software giant had failed to supply adequate information about its server programs. Microsoft has five weeks to provide improved documentation before the daily penalties are imposed. But the company pledged to contest the EU's "unjustified" demands by whatever means possible. Update: Microsoft contests.

There is nothing liberalistic about EU.
It's static socialism of the worst kind. EU is basically the opposite of what a true libertarian is believing in.
But EU is f--ked up. So is USA. So is France, Germany, Denmark, Russia, Indonesia and Brazil.
If there are politicians and bureaucrats, it's bound to be f--ked up.

Damn right.
Whether we call the EU neoliberal or static socialism, I think we agree it sucks.
I've never been a fan of political party's and the so called left and right terms. It all just ends up to be the same crap anyway: Elite profiting from the masses.

I'm completely against the state and I'm no socialist at all. You're way of target.
The plans which are laid down by EU leaders are very f--ked up. They want strong military and extreme neoliberalism. Whether that comes or not, time will show. Whether the EU standard of living is lower or not it doesn't matter. What matters is the power the leaders have behind them and how far they will abuse it to get a powerful position in the world.
