I don't understand what you're to say here, really. Just literally hours ago the EC ordered Microsoft to uncouple Teams from Office because Slack, the product MS copied, lost all of its lead to Teams after MS flexed its muscle and leveraged its dominant position to promote their copycat product. MS is a convicted monopolist and a repeat offender, they will abuse whatever power they're handed, whether they're successful at this or not is a different matter; one the CMA isn't keen on finding out. 

I don't even know why 4 people are agreeing with you, on the subject you mentioned about MS "dominating ALL OF PC", and that's not how this works, like at all...


The only part MS actually owns on PC is their own operating system, which is of their own design, but it is in no way "all of PC", because Linux and mac OS exist.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Did you really used Linux as an argument about MS not dominating PC space ?

Did you really just pull an "akcutally" on me?
