Microsoft Acting Juvenile

Microsoft is characterized by the Europeans as 'prevaricating' in fulfilling their end of the EU bargain.

Let's call a spade a spade. MS is fuckin' with them. It's a playground term, but it fits the bill.

Instead of playing straight, MS is pretending to agree and then is acting as if they really didn't agree. Too many of these damn marketing folks at MS seem to have never learned the basic fact that when it comes to enforcing the law, it's the spirit of the law that counts, folks, not the letter.

They'll find out soon enough that the EU doesn't play games with this stuff, because the penalty can include taking up to 5% of MS's global revenue. Now that's gonna make the shareholders scream.
