Well, I really would like to see the data of their statistics.

In Europe, for a couple of years now 3G networks have been online and nowadays pretty much every mobile phone up for sale there are 3G so unless they have taken only a few countries and not all the the members(15 or 25 as you wish) I cannot see where their data came from...

Well Well Well...

If microsoft should pull out of the EU as suggested before, the EU will simply has to finance the development (with the money earned from microsoft) of an European distro (could be linux, bsd, etc)...

Additionally, It is known that many countries don't like ms domination and if the EU should sponsor a linux distro for example I'm fairly confident that many countries and PC manufacturers will jump in as well...

And with the looming economic crisis in the US this could really be the "coup de grace" for the US economy and microsoft domination... In short, if they pull out the biggest losers will be microsoft and to some extent the US as they won't control the OS market as they were used to.

Not to mention that the EU economy as a whole is bigger than the US... If you don't believe it just google it...
