Which is just what Microsoft's critics are worried will happen. This case started when the government took Microsoft to court in 1997 for violating a prior consent decree. Some in the tech industry say this is what Microsoft will probably do again.

...TIME's pop-music critic, Farley was well primed for the assignment. In recent years he has traveled to Sweden, Brazil, Japan, the Bahamas, France, Mexico, Jamaica and Ireland, among other places. And, as a Jamaican native who moved to the U.S. as a kid, he was keenly attuned to the diversity of indigenous musical styles and traditions. Even so, Farley found he had a few things to learn about the international scene.
