Amen. They should honor their service contracts of course, but outside of
that simply stop selling to Europe.
I think I'm on the same side as you. MS did "bad" things, like demanding
computer companies only sell machines with their OS. However, should that be
illegal? Why can't I ask that you only sell Coke? If I don't have a gun to
your head, you have the right to say no. No one _needs_ Windows. You don't
have a constitutional right to own it. If you don't like MS, don't buy it.
If you don't like the fact that you can't buy a Window-less machine from
Dell, don't buy from Dell. (And I just use that as example, maybe Dell does
sell Windows-less machines.)
I think most of what people complain about, in regards to business (and note
I said _most_, not all), could be solved in a free market by simple not
purchasing products from the company you don't like.
It's like the RIAA. Everyone hates them. Ok, so why are CDs still selling?
They are still selling because not enough people care about what jerks the
RIAA are. Therefore those of us who want to see the RIAA change their
practices are losing out. Which isn't nice - but it is fair.
