...Microsoft's move came as part of a legal settlement with the European Commission after a decade of skirmishes with the E.U.'s antitrust authority. Neelie Kroes, the E.U. competition commissioner, says Microsoft's previous approach denied consumers a fair choice. "It is as if you went to the supermarket and they only offered you one brand of shampoo on the shelf, and all the other choices are hidden out the back," Kroes said.

This plus an array of what the management refers to as light lunches but which probably don't figure on most diet plans - vichyssoise with tempura oyster, Wagyu-beef teriyaki and the like. Order a couple of cordials from the divine cocktail list and the last thing...
