                      It's today in the news that Microsoft has been fined with this enormous amount of money because it violated European anti-cartel rules and misused it's dominant market position. I personally think this fine of the EU commission is absurd and at the end consumers will be paying for it, and that's what i really hate :mad: With friendly greetings, Eric Goedhart Skype: eric-goedhart Deep in the fundamental heart of mind and Universe there is a reason. -Slartibartfast

                      Just like some cities fund their municipalities by employing speed traps and writing lots of speeding tickets, it looks like the EU funds itself with so called anti-trust fines. :| Steve Miller

                            How do you get a Work-Visa so quickly? Being from Ireland, do you have some separate work-permit quota? Because I thought the H1B work Visa quota was exhausted for this year. Regards, Nish

                                Wouldn't surprise me. A century ago we had imigration quotas to keep 'undesirable' immigrants from southern and eastern Europe out, and we all know stupid legislation never dies.

                                  Same process as everyone else. I got the offer in May and the Micrsoft laywers sorted out everything regarding the H-1B visa petition. I then filled in all the necessary forms on my side, went to the US Embassy in Ireland last Wednesday and had my passport back with the visa inside by Friday.

                                      I have ran into one of these bugs[^] myself in Word2003. Very annoying. Of course, not as annoying as not being able to figure out how to easily edit Index entries.

                                          I think that at this moment i get reasonable good products for a reasonable price when i buy software from Microsoft so i don't think i'm a victim of Microsoft's market position, i think their pricing policy is quit fair for most products.;) With friendly greetings, Eric Goedhart Skype: eric-goedhart Deep in the fundamental heart of mind and Universe there is a reason. -Slartibartfast
