Wonder what the result would be to the EU economy if Bill Gates said Fuck it, Microsoft products will no longer be sold in the EU ?

I think Mirosoft stock would drop fast, and within 2 years Bill Gates would be in top 20 of riches persons in the world, and not number 1.
Already avalible software would be perfected within the EU countries, and in 10 years or less average persons switching on their computers in the US would see Tux instead of Windows.
500 million is peanuts for Bill Gates, but the part about Windows Media Player not being a part of the OS... well that just sucks when you want World Software Domination, so MS will keep fighting for the next couple years.
Only persons who won today, was the lawyers which got paid to fight, and now can look forward to another round
