This is a step in the right direction, but no fine they can levy will be sufficiently punitive.
Companies like this will continue on and consider things like this simply the cost of doing business.
Kind of like banks. They don't give a fuck.
- tajen 10y agoThe EU commission levied a $2bn (yes, billion) fine for Microsoft antitrust problems, i.e. the stupid removal of the choice popup for the browser in XP SP3 and not giving the API documentation to some editor. Those two things were very stupid misgivings by Microsoft: They were almost going out unscattered, and they played with the fire towards the end of the trial. Since then, I like the EU commission. As long as they can bend the master plans of dominating US companies. However, I don't see how the forced Windows upgrade didn't lead to a requirement to reimburse every user of their stripped Windows 8 license.
