Just bundle.
Sell companies something (product "A") at an outrageous price in Europe, and either
A) bundle XP with it physically.
B) Give the purchaser the ability to download XP from a US site after entering the registration number from product "A".
There's nothing that says you can't bundle your (monopoly) product as a 'free' bonus to be included with a product you DON'T have a monopoly on, after all.
And if this practice gets them hauled into court, well, that will take years to resolve too, with another fiscally insignifigant fine...

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
