Talk:EU concerned about Microsoft compliance, $5 million daily fine possible

The wording of the title is awkward.

At a minimum, the title should read,

"Microsoft not compliant with EU demands, possible $5 million daily fine"

However, from reading the story and the cited sources, it seems the story could be summed up as:

"EU concerned about Microsoft compliance; possible five million dollar daily fine"

but that's pretty long.

So how about:

"EU rejects Microsoft proposal; daily US$5 million fine?"

Just some ideas. &mdash; DV 14:06, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * I was going to go with "Microsoft has still not complied with EU demands, possible US$ 5 million daily fine", or "Microsoft still not complying with EU demands, possible US$ 5 million daily fine", but those didn't seem right either. The article is actually a combination of two articles: the possible fine, and the rejected proposal. It seemed to me both could be combined. In light of this, I think the longer title may be justified: "EU concerned about Microsoft compliance; possible five million dollar daily fine" The title "EU rejects Microsoft proposal; daily US$5 million fine?" seems to me a bit melodramatic, as if to say: the End? I would heartily welcome a title suggestion that makes more sense then any of these. -- Redge (Talk) 15:49, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * "Microsoft still not complied with..." doesn't make sense, so almost any of the other choices would be better at this point. &mdash; DV 15:54, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm going with "EU concerned about Microsoft compliance; possible five million dollar daily fine" for now and ask people not move the article untill we can agree on a better title here. -- Redge (Talk) 16:03, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
