Yes, but the EU Commission got infiltrated, apparently.
- From the news:
"It's a sign of the growing dÃtente that Courtois himself, a 25-year
Microsoft veteran, is currently serving as an official "ambassador"
for a jamboree called the "Year of Creativity and Innovation"
organized by the E.U.'s executive commission â the same body that has
been taking Microsoft to task over its business practices. He will be
sharing a podium in Brussels in early November with the commission's
president, JosÃ-Manuel Barroso, and the other 14 ambassadors. "We're
trying to be a partner with Europe," Courtois says, pointing out that
Microsoft spends about $600 million on research and development in
Europe, and provides thousands of jobs in the region."
