      That would be a sure fire way to get Microsoft to pull completely out of Europe leaving thousands of companies without support and a heafty unpaid fine setting on the table.

      It would actually be beneficial for Microsoft to abandon the server farms and offices leaving workers with an email stating the situation and their new job status.

        You think Microsoft has no assets in Europe? Asset seizure is a sure fire way to get paid when companies refuse to cooperate.

        You think they make no profits in Europe? Why would they be here if they didn’t?

        I would love the mayhem that would ensue from Microsoft leaving Europe completely. Dumb fuckers in all those incompetent IT departments that have wasted countless hours of mine because they don’t understand jack shit of what they’re doing would be having strokes, and us geeks would be having a field day keeping essential stuff alive, like medical technology and power plants.
