Microsoft Fine Upheld In Court

September 19, 2007 | ISSUE 43•38

Europe's second highest court recently upheld the European Commission's 2004 decision to fine Microsoft 497 million euros for antitrust violations. What do you think?

This is all very interesting for Europe, but remind me again what it has to do with America?

Baly Harper
Assistant District Attorney
Don't they know all those fines are just going to force Microsoft to produce an inferior product? I mean, a more inferior one?

Chuck Gardner
Printer
This is an important ruling for anybody who believes in antitrust laws or anybody who likes it when rich people lose money.

Eric Isensee
Systems Analyst
