Actually, I was just expressing my personal opinion. I don't really
care how many folks I can line up behind me. I'd suspect, however, that
there's a significant number of people in the world who see it as I do,
and a significant number of people who don't.
I just read what comes my way about the subject, and form an opinion.

Indeed. I'd drink to that. See that's something that would really make
Microsoft address the reality of how much the EU hates them and simply
will not let go of their issues until they have real satisfaction. And
it would force the EU to act like a professional organization, and come
up with some serious _current_ justification for their current crusade.
