Washington state sues spyware maker

EU just wants some of MS profits ...: ... without doing anything constructive to earn them. Pretty much like the jihadists who want nothing more than the Jizyah Tax without lifting a finger, or for that matter the common street thug who sticks a gun in the face of productive citizens because they are "too good" to work.

Governments are like that.

I agree that MS long ago should have sold -EURO versions, crippled by leaving out whatever feature the EU felt should be left out, but for the same price as the full version. This would be a true test of how much the citizens (subjects? serfs?) of the EU really wanted those features left out.
