It's not the matter of being owned they got no choice to pay it.
Anyway 1.4 Bill is nothing. It's not as if that fine has or will put a big hole in thier pockets. Microsoft sell 1000's of computers every day. Im sure they will get over it.

What happens if Microsoft tells them to **** off?

Oh well, it's all pocket money to them anyway!

Usually they would freeze the companies products but if they did that to MS I am pretty sure there would be a huge economic problem for EU countries? Most businesses rely on MS office and MS OSs.

I really wish I know where this money will go.
