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 ?

That would pave the way for quality non buggy platforms

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

Don't get me wrong I'm a windows man myself, but after trying apple I'm slipping over to the dark side.... Linux Redhat is another platform that is becoming a fav of mine...

So if windows left tomorrow I wouldn't miss it

I'll stick with the windows I have in my cars now

They work fine

If they were MS I might have to restart the car everytime they got stuck

there is no possible way for this to happen. Microsofts team are probably the most focused, motived and driven business people on the Planet. their goal is not second place.

it's a good thing that Bill Gates was not born in an Arab or African country... he would be leading a genocide somewhere in his quest for absolute power.

Alas, that's not an overreaction. I wish it were.

Do you want one single company controlling all of that? And worse, one company with the world's buggiest most exploited software? Things that should keep you awake at night.
i sale tin foil hats.

cheep.

The security issues would not get any better if another OS became more popular. The only reason MS has so many known exploits is that there are people that spend all day, every day, finding them. Why? Because that's what the majority of PC users use. If everyone was on linux or something like that, it would be the same.

That is the biggest load of BS ever stated and you aren't the first to say so. Windows, by nature, is not secure. Why the fuck do you need Office to be able to access the internet? You fucking don't. Why does Windows need to have the desktop integrated to interface into the internet. It doesn't. If Billy G would quit being such a fucktard, half of these windows bugs wouldn't even exist.
