It's also a company's right to say "we refuse to cooperate and are leaving the market until the sanctions are lifted". What are they going to do, force them to come back?? If Microsoft can make more money there than it looses then they might decide to give in and cooperate, but if they see it as a dangerous infringment on their corporate welfare then they should just pack up. Where did the idea come in that they have a responsibility to the EU beyond coexistance and profit???
