Microsoft fine: who gets the money?

ZDNet asks the question, and finds the answer in a Q&A they republish. The money, it says, goes "into the EU's central budget", which sounds a lot like it just gets lost in the vastness that is the EU machine. What a shame they can't use the windfall to stimulate innovation in technology round the EU, so Europe can compete on capabilities and skills, and not just rely on Mario Monti & Co to protect its markets from companies intent on abusing their dominant positions.
