  1. Comment - EC to Microsoft: We may still fine you

    (Feb 24, 2009 - 9:35 PM)

    True dingomutt.
    The EC is mostly motivated for more money. The anti-American sentiment in Europe (and most of the rest of the world) simply makes it very easy to do this over and over again.
    The notion of either not having any web browser on Windows 7 European Edition is attractive but likely to upset legitimate EU customers. An interesting idea is to officially sell all versions of Windows 7 via e-commerce through servers located in the United States and thus ignore the EU is also appealing. Due to the many assets Microsoft has tied up in Europe, it would have to divest quite a bit to simply tell the EU to go to Hell (or some more diplomatic equivalent).

  2. Comment - Vizio Tops LCD TV Sales in US

    Does anyone here know what manufacturer makes the Gateway branded HD LCD monitors? I am thinking mainly of "Gateway FPD2485W 24" Widescreen High-Definition LCD Flat-Panel Display" at http://www.gateway.com/a...uct/1541000R.php?seg=hm
    They have good reviews on Cnet and various other sites. I have had good experience with them in the past though my Gateway FX 530 shipment is getting delayed for a couple more weeks I just learned today. Oh well.

  3. Comment - AMD's War with Intel Becomes a Street Brawl

    So the EU has copies of contracts the Intel had OEMs sign that states discounts only for those that use exclusively Intel chips? I hope they do have this kind of proof. Competitors tend to whine when they are losing and tend to make stuff up!

  5. Comment - EC Charges Intel with Abuse of Dominant Power

    "What are you trying to demonstrate? in the EU is the same count of attacks by terrorists than in the USA. This have something to be with very very dirty politics"
    The dirty politics is the corrupt and mediaeval state of affairs not in Europe or the US but the Middle Ages in the Middle East. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a poster child for such Dark Ages corruption.
