Microsoft vs. Europe: Possible truce, with Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| 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.

| We've known for a while now that Microsoft, or someone at Microsoft buzzes
| our blog and website from time to time. And yes...we have a mole...did you
| expect anything different from us?
|
| They've also spent some time at the Lindependence site. Gratifying but
| ultimately, not really a big deal. Not for one silly little website.
|
| But when you have several sites banging the same drum and that drumbeat
| begins to resound with echoes that are impossible to ignore, you get results.
