Not breaking the law, Loverock?
Then tell me, how is it that the EU's courts have the ability to fine Microsoft? The EU's courts are using the EU's laws as a basis for levying their fines - they wouldn't legally be able to levy those fines without the preexisting laws explaining the wrongs and the punishments for said wrongs. Those laws are enacted by the EU's legislative body - they're not just made up by the courts as they go along.

Microsoft may not be breaking YOUR PERSONAL laws, but your laws don't hold much water in the EU - nor in the US, for that matter.
