Maybe Microsoft should quit selling Windows in the EU?

Wow wouldn't it be kind of fun for them to say, "we are going to pull out of the EU market." Think of the ruckus that would spawn! It would be liberating for a change. The politicians running for cover alone would be worth it.

As for the "bundling" issue with Windows Mobile - my God - is Europe just about the lawyers? The competition is so fierce in the mobile space that it isn't even fair to make that assertion. I want Apple to be forced to open their platform to include WM PIE!!!!! I want every phone to have every mobile browser on it. This is what lawyers/bureaucrats do when they don't want to work on the world's real financial problems.

Admittedly, sometimes my "chaotic" side takes over and says, just throw the entire world into turmoil to teach a lesson. That's what the Middle East countries did during the Oil Embargo of 1974 and they got their point across quite nicely - with no serious long-term implications.
