They are rather experts of suing Micro$oft. This is just one another way of taking tax from us, Microsoft just pays the fine, divides it by amount of sold windoze licences and add this to price, while still doing things the same as before. But it's not a problem for me, i don't buy windows so i don't have to pay that tax.
