> It’s the EU’s biggest antitrust action against an American tech company since it levied charged against Microsoft and its Windows operating system in 2000, which eventually resulted in huge fines for the company and notable changes to its technology. This time, the tables have turned, but the case is playing out in similar ways. Er, the investigation they just announced is the biggest antitrust "action" since Microsoft? Oh Wired, you remain as lazy as ever. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. It's been over 5 years since the Google search investigation first became public knowledge[1], and it'll be another few years before it's resolved. Compared to web search, the mobile market is going to be changing far, far faster over the next 5 to 7 years.
