I’m not in support of the DMA and I’m not in favor of the US suit against Apple, and I too have been wondering how Microsoft - who I’d argue is the most anticompetitive of all, with the longest history of doing so - has escaped all of this lately. They really must be funding some important people’s pockets.
- spogbiper 3y agoIts simple: Microsoft doesn't do the things that the DMA says companies can't do. They may do other anti-consumer things, but they don't do these things.
- toast0 3y agoMicrosoft has been through this before. EU windows has a browser choice screen and you can buy it without windows media player (I think for the same price or darn near as with). Microsoft is good at painting in or near the lines, from decades of practice. They probably also respond to new regulations without an excess of foot dragging. Also, they weren't able to turn their dominant position in desktops into anything in mobile.
- layer8 3y agoMaybe the EU Commission hasn’t received DMA-related complaints from other companies about Microsoft. The Commission seems to be careful to base investigations on competitor statements.
