EU warns Microsoft of possible further fines
By
The European Commission warned Microsoft on Thursday it faced further fines in its long-running antitrust battle with Brussels, this time for seeking unreasonable prices from software makers for vital data.
“The Commission’s current view is that there is no significant innovation in these protocols,” European Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said in a statement. “I am therefore again obliged to take formal measures to ensure that Microsoft complies with its obligations,” she said, rejecting as unfounded 1,500 pages of submissions by Microsoft. Microsoft has four weeks to reply to the charges.
