1. Why does the EU seems to get it, that MS is a defacto monopoly on a host

of software products, and has no other aim than to ensure that monopoly into perpituty.

It would be one thing if they listened to the people who bought their crap and tried to improve it. But their business model is such that we are perpetually buying the next version of a product in the vain hope that MS will have fixed the bugs in the last version.

It appears to me, that part of the MS business strategy is to ensure that there are always bugs and broken or missing features to ensure a future market for their crap-ware.

Another part of the model to is strangle, stifle and otherwise eliminate the competition.

It does not appear to me, that complete customer satisfaction has ever a prime concern for MS.
