Oh, give it a rest. Just because everything is corrupt in the US don't start projecting it on the EU. The Commission is looking at a serious risk to real competition in the market and that's their mandate.
The EU did not "tax" Microsoft. Failing to comply with a ruling of the Court should be punished. And the Commission goes after European companies harder than it does the odd American company (Microsoft). Read some news and learn something new will you?
Hey Andrew, I read some of this "news" today (sorry, most of us American aren't adept in handling information well.) and in fact did learn something new! Everything really is corrupt in America! Oh a fool I must be for not believing before! Never mind that common sense and a little rational thought would indicate that most businesses in first world countries operate quite lawfully. But as we all now know, a little snide talk and flame spewing is all the news we need apparently.

Those EU "taxes" can get pretty high once they start "probing" (see also Microsoft).
