So Microsoft just does the same shit they've done a hundred times before and have been penalized for a hundred times before.

Give them a few billion dollars fine.

Jail those managers that made this decision

THAT will make sure they will start behaving. If not, it's all just "please don't" and Microsoft being "suuuuurely we would never ever!"

Fuck Microsoft

have been penalized for a hundred times before

That's where you're wrong. The last time they shoveled their browser at us in clearly anti-competitive ways they were found guilty and then ... nothing. Essential software or some such, and nothing.

So no, they haven't been penalized; not on their Sherman offence, and here they go repeating it.

Hammer them.
