In Microsoft: no plan to appeal EC verdict for now
What microsoft has done wrong is to use the leaverage of one monopoly to gain a second, third and fourth monopoly. That is illegal - even in the USA.
The big difference in Europe is that the legal powers allow measures to put in place procedures to stop it happening in the future. Something the USA doesnt allow for.
The down side is that Microsoft has successfully appealed the measure put in place to monitor its abuse of the market in the future.
