The EU does what its always done: Works its ass off to hold down very sccessful American companies so that third rate European companies can kick them.
You only have to look at the history of Airbus.
The EU is easly the most protectionist body on the planet by far( just look at those massive agricultural subsidies), that will explain why the EU has close to ZERO growth rates and unemployment rates nearly double what we have in the US, and this in spite of the fact that America takes in far more immigrants than the rest of the world combined.

Luckily we in America don't recognise European laws, so your "sanctions " against Microsft will only apply in moribound, corrupt Europe.
Here in America, Microsoft will be free to sell Windows FULLY LOADED with Windows Media Player.
And America is by far the most powerful economy on the planet, with some 11 trillio dollars in GDP, trumping a combined Euro GDP of just $9 trillion.
