Im beginning to think that you like trying to irritate people
I had been studying Economics for 2 years. We have done research into both the European and US economies, and I am sorry to say that I think, and even my Economics lecturer thinks that you are wrong.
Open-source programs led by the Linux operating system pose perhaps the most serious threat to Microsoft because their code is freely shared, while Microsoft closely guards its source code.
What would happen if someone discovers opensource code within MS source?

Please don't imply that socialist europeans are messing around with US companies, as Lee Ryder already did.
This is nothing compared to what the good capitalist Americans tried to
LeeRyder said:ya know...if Europe keeps pissing off American companies.. be really funny to see microsoft revoke all licenses in that area, pull out of business there and watch europe slip back to 1988 lol
LeeRyder said:You mean all those capitalist corporations the EU business' are trying to emulate? Or like how France has laws saying how many french songs must be played because the US music was dominating the radio?
Free speech doesnt exist in the eu sadly.
Zeeble said:IMO, more free speech exists in the EU than in the US ATM due to the "anti-terror" laws that Bush has introduced.
octobus said:Let's not get into freedom of speech issues here. It has nothing to do with the original topic. Zeeble, you're wrong to point that US weaker freedom of speech.
