The outcome of this dispute is a foregone conclusion.
The EU will bluster around the edges with great stamping of feet and clouds of intimidation. Microsoft will calmly agree to disagree and the EU will implode on it's own frustration.
If the EU cannot get France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Portugal to obey there own diktats on financial irregularities, what hope of the moral high ground against a more powerful foe.
Any restraint of trade against Microsoft will bring the house down on the EU and they know it.
