Ha, well if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Whether Apple did something illegal isn't really what people are bringing up, but whether Ireland and Apple agreed to a loophole no one at the EU level actually intended. It'd sorta be like Apple getting out of paying U.S. federal tax because of a California loophole that disproportionately applies to Apple.

I don't see the EU giving Microsoft grief. It'd seem they're paying EU taxes differently than Apple.
