Microsoft and The Expensive Union (EU)
France isn’t the only one worrying about the EU.
CNET reports: “Microsoft must submit on Tuesday its final proposal for complying with an antitrust order from the European Commission–or face fines that could reach millions of dollars a day.”
The Commission, which polices competition in the 25-nation European Union, fined the U.S. software giant 497 million euros ($613 million) on March 24, 2004.
Maybe that’s a sign of things to come.
UPDATE: (6/1) “Microsoft has filed its latest attempt to comply with Europe’s antitrust ruling, getting its proposal in mere hours before the deadline set by authorities.” The story continues.
