And that has absolutely nothing to do with them coming up with better approaches then discussing them with industry for potential roll out, adoption, etc.
But instead, now they're in trouble they're trying to blame the EU for stopping their monopoly.
Do you honestly believe MS being unhindered by competition restraints would lead to better results?
Are you forgetting MS has already demonstrated how that goes, and been literally convicted for it?
Let me try to make it extremely simple so that maybe you might understand something.
Say I am running a shop, the EU tells me that under no circumstance can I not allow a product to be sold in my shop, even if that product is a ticking time bomb that can blow up the shop. And so hearing this, I create a document “Good approaches to sell time bombs”, and I mention helpful stuff like ensure the timer in your bomb is switched off when it is in shop. I also create an industry wide forum with all time bomb manufacturers and discuss best practices and time bomb methods with them to best sell it in the shop etc.
In spite of all this, there exists an idiot timebomb manufacturer who ignores all best practices, does not consider industry and builds a shitty time bomb that blows up the shop.
Now please educate me, apart from doing the only surefire thing and banning shitty time bomb manufacturers from selling in their shop, what should MS do?
But instead, now they're in trouble they're trying to blame the EU for stopping their monopoly.
