Just like they faced scrutiny when bundling IE. Microsoft has been at the monopoly game again forever since the restrictions expired, with bundling and pumping up their inferior OneDrive, HyperV, Teams, Edge and Bing products.
They don’t care and the EU will not impress either them or me unless instead of shaking fists they actually act: break up Windows, Office, browser, hardware and services, forced opening of any API used by another part, permanent bans on any kind of bundling, permanent vigilance and enforcement with mega fines and product bans.
But that is just never going to happen. The EU only actually acts against parties that don’t talk back and Microsoft will drag this out until they slither out underneath and the EU will find an excuse why they ‘let this one slip’. Because they are totally dependent on and addicted to Microsoft.
