And Agreed to both. Whatever Microsoft is offering should only be the first brick of several that the EU Commision throws back at MS.

Not sure how much of a penalty that is

Authored by: mcinsand on Wednesday, July 18 2012 @ 09:14 AM EDT

MS really dropped the ball on this one, and I think 31 months is an unfairly
light penalty. My recommendation would be an extension of 45 months (triple
penalty) along with a fiscal fine. I'm not sure how much value the choice
window really holds, now, although it would have been nice 15 years or so ago.
Face it; there is too much documented information on why to avoid IE, if a user
has any tech exposure at all. The only people that will choose IE are MS
advocates and people that just don't have any business being on the Internet.
Oh. I guess that's partially redundant ;)
