Quote by mike48
Ive just been informed that the European commission has concluded after a 5 year investigation that the microsoft corperation broke europeon competition laws by leveraging its near monopoly in the market for PC operating systems.
They were given a Â£497 million fine for abusing its market power in the EU
As of from Mon 17th April if you are using Windows your system will fail and be shut down
If you have only just bought Window that's tough, try getting your money back from microsoft ......dought it :cry:

Looks like we got away with it then.

just spent a lot of time reading through the microsoft /euro papers and no where does it say it will be shutting down, and even if it was true the software is on your computer and the only way for microsoft to stop you using windows would be a patch to destroy the data in windows on your system, if that happens (which it won't) just reinstall lol, infact microsoft are busy on a newer vertion of windows that will replace XP, anyway I been told to get off and make room for my misses.

Only 5 days left peeps

Mike matey :-
I think a " SH White Paper" was sent out to all those that matter about this problem.
Not being Privvy to said paper I can not quote in detail.
However I am led to believe that this was recindeed by the "Four Tops" after a very long and tedious debate with the "Moderators" on the left and the "Room Op's" on the right.
It was a very close run vote and the "Chair" in the form of a very senior Moderator had the casting vote. "She will remain anon".
I assume (a dangerous thing to do) that the AUP's will be updated as time goes by lol
