The EU Commission has previously fined MSFT for a couple billion dollars for "lesser" infractions.
- alkonaut 9y agoThey have fined microsoft billions over the years. Once 2-3 million dollars per day for failing to comply. 1.44 billion was the largest fine they got so far. Failing to comply with sometthing like this (through secrecy) would definitely be way north of that. It just wouldn't be worth it. I mean microsoft doesn't have anything to gain from having backdoored security, unlike the situation with media player and internet explorer, where there was a monopoly situation.
