Imagine keeping sanctions on South Africa for apartheid decades after they've ended it and that regime is long gone.

(Not that I'm comparing the two but since you brought in child labor I'm just going further down that lane.)

The difference is, the constitution of South Africa now makes apartheid legally impossible (I assume, I haven't actually read it), whereas the corporate charter of Microsoft not just allows but potentially requires it to attack Linux.
