> Every time someone imagines a country going after Microsoft

You don't need to imagine it: the comment you are replying to links to a press release from a Government agency "going after Microsoft". And yet somehow we haven't seen Microsoft stop doing business with the Australian government.

If "going after" means continuing to give them more and more money, one might question what you actually mean by "going after" ...

[applfanboysbgon]

"Going after" means enforcing the law against them. Nothing more, nothing less.

In this context 'enforcing the law' means letting them get away with (via token inconsequential fines or the like) and then giving them even more money.
