It is complete BS, that is true, and I don't understand why Apple is not brought up on this same issue. Most likely it's because Windows is a lot more prominent compared to Mac OS, so it makes them a bigger target,

lol Gosh you folk think your selves techy experts.

Lets go why Microsoft were dealt such a bill.

1. Microsoft is not Apple.
2. Microsoft is open platform with no limits with who develops for it. (Though it is not an open source OS)
3. Microsoft has the largest percentage of the PC market still.
4. Microsoft signed licences, deals and treaties ensuring that they would not monopolies the PC market in front of the EU board and many other governments.
5. Microsoft products are too well engrained into the computer world to be ban or limited by the EU.
6. Microsoft complies with EU to ensure their products are not banned.
7. Microsoft OS are for is used in medical, military, scientific, personnel, government e.t.c. uses.

Why doesn't Apple get the boot up the backside?

1. Apple software and hardware are sold under Apple trademark name.
2. Apple is closed system OS. Allowing only developers to create content for their systems.
3. Apple DO NOT SELL their hardware or software to other parties.
4. Apple legal documentation states that the companies position with its built-in software are part of the Mac core experience.
5. Apple is sold for its experience, professional and high quality built in software.
6. PC to Mac definitions between each have existed since the 70's.
7. Apple computers are for personnel use and not for medical, military, scientific use e.t.c.

You add these all up you get.

= Apple are completely fine with their layout because its what you paid for.

= Microsoft hold no ground to back track on deals and treaties they have signed into.

Breaking the rules result in the above article.
