- amluto 1y agoAre you sure they lost? If the CEOs had perfect crystal balls and knew that those particular business practices would result in the penalties that they got in their court cases, I bet they still would have done the same things.
- balls187 1y agoNot that I am an expert in each case, but as part of the evidence was that people in leadership/decision making positions were informed that their practices and conduct was unlawful. > Are you sure they lost? Well, Chrome and not Microsoft's browser is the dominant webbrowser, and at the heart of MSFT's anti trust case was bundling Internet Explorer with Windows. So, yes. MS did lose.
- frfl 1y agoMS got hit kinda hard back in the 2000s right? But since then most cases have been nothing more than slaps on the wrist? Have any major companies faced dire consequences for their anticompetitive practice. So why would they stop using their market position in ways that benefit them and at worst result in minor fines or wrist slaps?

- blibble 1y agono doubt chrome will automatically install it at some point
- binkHN 1y ago> Microsoft PowerToys Run Nice to see, though I gave up on Windows a short a while ago for Linux and KDE's Krunner is seriously awesome; even used it to do some trigonometry the other day!
