u know if they could i believe they would but just to save face they won't ban high profile companies like Msoft for fear of coming off hypocritical or protectionist with their "unfair business practices" mantra. When a business or individual make a little more money than the barons that really run their union.

This isn't the US we are talking about here. The EU decision-makers don't listen to anyone: not their own people; not member state governments; not corporations. This can be good or bad, and in this case it is for the better.

I wonder how long education software would be Win32 based if Win32 was effectively banned in schools...

I dont think they would ban windows, just stop MS selling directly to schools.
