  Microsoft has been abusing their monopoly for a lot longer than Google. I wish they would put that target on their back. There are so many remedies I can think up straight away.

  Force them to sell off Windows. Force them to not have special pricing for specific OEMs under any special agreements or terms. Force them to unbundle Edge from windows. Force them to continually support and fully implement competing standards into their products. Edit: Force them to sell off Visual Studio, Direct X and .Net

  They just laid off 3% of their workforce.
