Microsoft was fined for putting a media player in windows because Rovio and other european companies complained they couldn't charge for a media player as long as Windows had one. Never mind that Windows had a media player from day one. And then they were fined because they only turned over API data, not source code.
And Kroes also went after Google in the name of the media companies.
So first she acts as a protectionist for years and now she complains about the protectors of the legacy businesses? That kind of deathbed conversion is mostly typical of politicians angling for higher office.
(And, in case you hadn't heard: 70 is the new 50.
