Microsoft won't be banned from the EU. They need Microsoft too much.

Every time the EU gets into financial difficulty, they b*tchslap Microsoft with another million dollar fine. If Microsoft stopped doing business there, not only would it hurt the economies of all countries with companies that depend on Microsoft products but the EU would lose a major source of revenue.

Hey, Microsoft has a simple way to not be fined - comply with the laws. I know it's fun to hate on the EU, but that doesn't mean the fines aren't deserved.

I agree that this ban will not happen though. The EU (and the world in general) needs Microsoft, but for reasons other than fines.

 

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
