Quite... it's not up to Microsoft to determine the laws of the EU, but
it /is/ up to Microsoft to respect the laws of the EU if it wishes to
trade here, like everyone else has to.
Whilst it's clear that they've been able to corrupt the US system,
hopefully, this won't happen here, but as I said above, I can't actually
see them ever paying. I think they'll fold before they pay a penny to
anyone.
