More of Bill's money gone

The European Union has fined Microsoft the record sum of 899 million euros for "failing to comply with a 2004 antitrust order, the largest EU fine ever imposed against a single company. Today's fine brings the total penalties against Microsoft to 1.68 billion euros in the case. The company was previously fined 778 million euros for abusing its dominance in the software market and failing to abide by the antitrust decision."

Rico says while that's only 1.35 billion dollars, which Bill can probably write a check for from his personal account, it couldn't have happened to a nicer company...
