		<description>Well Microsoft are in trouble in the European courts again. Germany has declaired the way Microsoft fixes the price of Office Home and Student to be anticompetitive and therefore illegal. I guess the Germans don&#039;t like &quot;marketing dollars&quot;.

If that wasn&#039;t bad enough Brussels has ruled in a summery judgement that bundling Internet Explorer with Windows may also be anticompetitive. Which is obviously going to make building a Microsoft only netbook very difficult if the final judgement also goes against Microsoft.

Now if I&#039;m building a cheap laptop designed solely to surf the web and I&#039;m not bundling IE. Why would I continue to stick with Windows? Without IE, Windows on the netbook form factor becomes irrelevant.</description>
