NATO does not operate military bases, nor own any military equipment. It is only a coalition of countries willing to defend each other.

> There was no action against Microsoft in the states.

Thats the quote you posted. Just take the L, dude. You're embarrassing yourself.

But the US did take action, and it WAS involving the browser, so youre completely wrong. Still.

> I told you that they took no action with the browser.

Not what you said. You said they took no action. Do you lack the understanding of this difference or not?

No one, including myself, ever told you that the US forced them to add a loading screen.

You are still wrong, because the US did take action. Not even sure why you would spend the time to comment if you are going to act ignorant of the vocabulary... Stop wasting our time, maybe? Admitting you made an error of choice of words is far less embarrassing than pretending to not be able to understand english as an American.

See, I ALSO am an American, who has ALSO installed Windows, and so I would never argue with you that a screen exists when it does not.

Are you capable of admitting you are wrong? Or are you just going to continue this weird "refuse to acknowledge" game you seem to be playing?

> guarantee you that we do NOT get the screen asking about browser that you get in the EU.

No one is debating that point. I am pointing out that the statement, "The US took no action against Microsoft," is not correct.

You are making it sound like you define the word, "action," as "a different computer screen."

Do you understand the meaning of the word "action"?

A lawsuit is action. A lawsuit was brought. Action was taken. Not the same action was taken.

> In the US there were no action.

Right... Bud, IDK exactly what issue is going on here but this statement is 100% not correct. There WAS an antitrust lawsuit that the US government brought and successfully prosecuted against Microsoft. It ended with them paying antitrust penalties and changing their contracts with third party computer manufacturers...

Again, IDK what blockage you are having, but you're wrong. Different action does not mean no action. The US ABSOLUTELY 100% DID take action against Microsoft.

Not having the same result does not mean no action/no penalties... Which might sound KISS simple, but it is honestly hard to understand what point you are trying to make. There was action against Microsoft. There was a result of said action. It was not the same result as the EU case, no. Not sure why anyone would think it would.

But there was action and penalties, they just decided to make changes to avoid the penalties. That's what settling a court case entails. Not sure how their statement is accurate in any sense.

Edit: they did not avoid penalties, they made changes to lessen their penalties.

They didn't "beat" the lawsuit, they settled by making some small changes.

Why lie, if you don't know?

There was action against Microsoft in the states. The suit was settled following concessions from the company.
