As they as they keep making a profit in Europe desite the fees, they'll keep doing business in Europe. It's pretty simple. Plus, even if they pulled the plug - they can't un-sell everything already sold. In the meantime someone would come up with something different - likely better. The only reason no one has is because they're lazy. Mac is a much more secure and user-friendly machine (i hate OS 10 personally), but because everyone has a PC everyone has to buy a PC - it's a Catch-22.

Sherlock makes an fairly good case. i think of all and sundry who lashes out against Europe could question what their perspectives are per: fact or what the on a daily basis Mail thinks approximately French human beings? And the lack of education being circulated is actual as plenty as a results of click and human beings’s interest as a results of fact the government. the ecu precise now could be needless to say a large number. there is various corruption and a multitude of money being wasted. It desires an entire overhaul. however the common theory of a eu capability is obviously mandatory. What are the main considerable concerns for any western national government? i could say some thing like climate replace, international commerce, immigration, terrorism etc. None of those issues could be tackled right without eu extensive uniform coverage. Europe could desire to be greater clean and efficient. yet Britain by no skill could have been and by no skill would be lower back the ruling empire of the international. without completely turning out to be a member of Europe, we are impotent.

Microsoft stands to gain more than it looses, by continuing to pay the fines and paying the needed ransom money to "call off the wolves." This is a complex issue embroiled in proprietary rights, intellectual properties, and monopoly busting, among other countless issues tangent to the main concern here... a lot has to do with the possible future impacts to which you alluded.
