So, in order to promove "genuine" competition, you prevent Microsoft from improving their products. |
No-one's trying to stop them from

Yay. I'm sorry, but continental Europeans wouldn't know free enterprise if it hit them in the face. Restricting a company's ability to improve their products IS NOT competition.

Neither is restricting an OEM's ability to pre-install competitors' products (as MS' licensing scheme did with OEMs who wanted to preinstall RealPlayer, Netscape etc).
