Back then Chrome didn't exist and they didn't implement the pop up, just assigned some overview and opened some APIs.
The popup came in 2009.
Seems to me they continued to take actions in 2009 as a result of their loss in 2001. "Some overview" continued after the case was decided. Unless there was a subsequent court case I'm unaware of?
The 2009 dispute was in the EU, to begin with.
The comment I was responding to was specifically about the United States' actions.
The didn't cause the browser popup then
Why bring it up then?
Why did I bring up a regulation that the EU imposed on Microsoft, in the comments of an article about regulations that the EU wants to impose on tech giants?
You're right, totally out of context.
