This article is incorrect on the ruling having nothing to do with the USA - which has "settled". The USA is very much trying to reform Microsoft which is viewed now as a transnational big business rather than an American company but also as a national treasure, perhaps even an entity that might be turned into a public utility.

It has been reported that 20 percent of the workers for Microsoft - on US soil - do not have US citizenship. Brad Chase was educated in Europe and Gates and Ballmer attended European-minded Harvard.

Monopoly is as anti-American culture as monarchy and robber barrens and kings are the reason the USA declared independence from England. It was influence peddling to the King by a monopoly and reduction in a tax to the monopoly that caused the Boston - and other - tea parties.

If you think it through, Word, up until its recent complete rewrite, is a Polish (EU product) and Word Perfect, the office software required during the Clinton/Reno days for interaction with the US AG's office is about as American as you can get owing to its heritage as a Morman product. Mormanism was started in the USA. In additions Microsoft pays very little US tax. And when you factor in the Gates family law and lobby firm's key man Abramoff, it portrays a transnational big business at war with the United States and doing our country great harm by corrupting otherwise honest government officials.

With this view comes concern regarding the extraction of wealth from US soil to out of country operatives. Other transnational big businesses do this. My fear is that the legal fees and the "penalties" benefit those who hate America. I greatly object to money made in the USA being transfered out of country in this way and through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Let the fines and legal fees be paid through revenue raised by operations in Europe. Let any charity money be taxed.

Six states and the District of Columbia have demanded that oversight be continued by the US federal government. They had been scheduled for elimination in November of this year. I just can not imagine the judge not factoring what EU has done into her own decision regarding the demand. If otherwise then MafiaSoft is a name that really sticks.
