Ballmer is probably too busy with Icahn inside the boiler room. He can't pack

"Vecher": Niko Computers asks for damages from Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| The domestic ICT sector lost its competitiveness on local tenders since
| Microsoft Macedonia allowed a foreign company to provide software for the
| Telecom from abroad, Niko Computers reacts.
|
| Microsot Macedonia must compensate the Macedonian computer dealers for
| failing to protect them from Microsoft’s software bought from abroad, and for
| denouncing the domestic computer firms if the preinstalled software that they
| are selling with the computers is not bought from the office of this
| corporate giant in Macedonia. This is why dozens of computer dealers are now
| disadvantaged or suffering financial losses when bidding for tenders in our
| country.

| are in general a positive move for development of information
