They should remove every trace of Microsoft of the xbox360.. Europeans don't like Big American Company's.. :) I mean how many times has the European Union gave a Milions++++ fine to Microsoft? :D

If I recall correctly, California fined Microsoft by a bigger amount than the EU. Do Californians not like Microsoft? Maybe the ones at Yahoo :P

According to wikipedia, the California fine was $1.1 billion, keep in mind that California is much smaller than the EU ;)

Well they have to pay in Euros and with the low dollar thats gotta hurt.. :D

But on topic: Microsoft does have a Bad image in Europe.. they will have to separate "Microsoft" from the Xbox360 to win Europe..

It'll be interesting to see what actions Microsoft take in order to be more competitive in Europe. They know they have to stimulate the XBox360 business there if they want to stay ahead of the PS3. This type of aggressive corporate grandstanding is always fun to see.
