In Europe, we're not stupid enough to buy products that break.
Actually, some are stupid enough to do that or just didn't know, but usually we don't.
We strive for quality, so now MS knows what to do, it's probably too late though.
Besides, we don't have the same return policies as what is available in the USA, which makes it worse.
And if some europeans don't want to support a company that will violate european laws to harm europeans, that's all the better. USA may have surrendered to MS, Europe won't.
I don't even need to go deep into difference of culture. You can force your culture on others only so much.
Then, you're going to meet resistance.
