I don't think the US ever managed to break up Microsoft despite deciding to do it a number of times.

Quote:
Politicians have no power to enforce a break-up, but the landmark vote sends a clear message to European regulators to get tough on the net giant.

US politicians and trade bodies have voiced their dismay at the vote.

The ultimate decision will rest with EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager.

I bet some execs are rushing to buy her dinner.
