They have to listen most carefully and are bathing in fear for the US. The US rule the world everywhere and they fool their population into believing they are not, but they are.
Over here people have entirely lost faith in politicians.

Yes, Microsoft has paid the EU fine. After the initial judgement, MS deposited $600M in an escrow account pending an appeal. They lost the appeal and the fine was increased. They appealed that and it was upheld with a small reduction in the fine to €860M which has been paid.
