Microsoft-er?

I wonder if Microsoft even cares about any more potential repercussions  from tangling with the European Community business authority.  Come on already, MS. Don’t be in denial about this. They didn’t back down during the last round of litigation. Why would they now?

Then we have this announcement. Now I’m confused.

They don’t want to provide any information to smaller companies on a continent that could fit inside of Alaska, you know, because I am sure they are cutting deep and wide into Microsoft’s market share. Then they unveil the man behind the curtain to let everybody get a peek at how Oz operates.
