It's be fair, Microsoft won't be matter.
Just to show how little the money is. Let's compare that with the money they set aside for RRoD, it's very similar. And I believe this case Microsoft can use payment method. so they didn't have to put away cash for it.

The EU has a good case of course against MS, cause they do have a monopoly, but besides that, the EU is getting out of hand. |
That is hard om te lezen zo Dutch and Engels door mekaar =p.

THe number of times I curse MS every day at work is too high, so I guess we are even.

Microsoft owns a monopoly and was charging people too much inorder to gain access to the code required to make their products work with Microsoft products.
Basically the EU is aganist monopolies and Microsoft only did some of the things they were required to do -- completing others once the EU said they were going to fine M$. 1.3bn isn't that much for M$ anyway so i think they should just pay up -- taking the EU to court AND asking the Eu to pay for it all because they think 1.3bn isn't fair is foolish as it is very unlikly they will win.
