"Microsoft Should Tell The EU To Stuff It!"

This chap writing for PCMag doesn't seem particularly happy with the EU, I can't think why:

Microsoft should just disable the versions of Windows in the EU to teach it to stay out of American business>>>To teach it to stay out of American business, Microsoft should just disable the versions of Windows in the EU.

...the unhappiness continues (my emphasis):

For one thing, the Europeans don't see why they can't do better than these American firms. After all, how hard could it actually be to develop a search engine? It's child's play. Thus, the Google dominance must have to do with onerous business practices. Whatever the case, the EU seems to think "let's find fault and stick them with a big fine if we can."

Yeah, well, welcome to the world endured by the British public. Anyway the article concludes:

Why should the EU be telling Americans how to run their businesses? As it now stands, every merger coming up has to be discussed with the EU in mind. Will the EU let two American companies merge? Will it? Won't it? Fret, fret, fret.

Hey! What does the EU have to do with it?

And yes, this whole situation is a pet peeve of mine. Microsoft should tell the EU to shove it.

I think he has a point, however, strangely in a war between Microsoft and the EU I'm reminded of Henry Kissinger's dictum on the Iran-Iraq war: "What a shame they can't both lose."
