I can't wait to hear their lawyers rationalise this black eye.
Will it be:

"You can't expect us to pay this fine and keep competition alive!"

OR

"You'll never take us alive, ya damn commie pinko bastards!"

I'm betting on the former but wouldn't count out the latter.

Here is the Reuters article. What I can remember of Microsoft got fined previously not so long ago but what happened of that?

They can't comply with web-standards or EU rulings, hopefully the EU fucks them up the ass like the US are too much of assholes to do.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.
