BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- The European Union antitrust chief said Thursday settlement talks with Microsoft Corp. had failed and he would propose that a precedent-setting ruling against the U.S. software giant be adopted next week.

``We made substantial progress toward resolving the problems that had arisen in the past but we were unable to agree on commitments for future conduct,'' EU Competition Commissioner Mario Monti said. ``In the end I had to ... decide what was best for competition and consumers in Europe.''

I worked for them for almost 6 years helping to make the company a success and the moment the states and feds finished their suits against MS, they outsourced our jobs to India.

Fuck Microsoft.
