I guess your memory isn't what it used to be. European action held back the Oracle <-> Sun deal for many many months.
If the EU wants to screw over american companies, they do it. We can start a new thread that'll no doubt go well into the triple digit post count on whether the EU was justified in holding back that deal, or if they would be justified in basically blocking google from doing business in the EU until they address this issue. That would be opinions. But what you should NOT be arguing, is that google can flaunt the EU's will on this topic. Because, that's established by fact: They cannot, without taking billions of dollars of damages. The EU can't block the internet without insane backlash, but they can prevent google from for example selling google apps or adwords in the EU. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
