Seems to me they continued to take actions in 2009 as a result of their loss in 2001. "Some overview" continued after the case was decided. Unless there was a subsequent court case I'm unaware of?
Why did I bring up a regulation that the EU imposed on Microsoft, in the comments of an article about regulations that the EU wants to impose on tech giants?
