How are people criticizing the EU over this? Microsoft failed to comply with the agreement, they admitted it themselves. What is the Commission supposed to say, "nah, it's no big deal, don't worry about it?" Does no one else find it odd that the "technical error" lasted a full year before it got fixed?

Yeah, that was intentional. There was no choice but to fine them.

Totally agree. I dont see why people are taking MS's side. They were supposed to do something (and which really wouldnt have cost them a cent) and they didnt. So they pay the price. Good on the EU for enforcing it.

Yep good thing from the EU.
The USA would have took the side of Microsoft or Apple cause you can't scratch on the reputation of those 2 giants.
Rather secure the face instead of showing and following AGREEMENTS AND RULES MICROSOFT ACCEPTED!!!!!
On the other side the "law" there would rip Samsung and others apart in an instant cause they are enemies of their loved ones.And they don't care if they are wrong with their decision.

If they accept something like that and don't do what they promised you have to pay - And of course its a high amount of money(probably not for Microsoft) cause they have enough and Windows is a strong selling Product anyway.
