Sorry, but that is a bad analogy.

Microsoft was found to be abusing (yet again) their dominant position
in the market.

You may not like it, but the EU body charged with investigating these
matters reached that conclusion after quite an exhaustive (some would
say slow) investigation in the matter.

If what you are suggesting is that Microsoft should be treated lightly
fine, but lets not pretend there is no issue to be redressed here.

Absolutely nothing really, but at this point the original context of
the discussion is too diluted.
