How on earth did this thread end up discussing about MS and it's dispute with EU about IE? |
The two cases aren't even comparable, BTW, MS was offered a way out before stopping Windows sales, and having to offer a version without IE and making the users choose which browser they prefer, being given more than enough time to comply, is a totally reasonable solution, solving the antitrust issue in the consumers' interest, or at least it could have been a lot more, had the EU forced MS to price the version without IE less.
Sony has been hit a lot more harshly, at least in the short term, but on a completely different issue, a patent lawsuit.
So the only issue linking the two cases could be Sony being treated harsher than MS, but the organizations that dealt with them and inflicted the penalties aren't the same.
