EU plans sanctions against Microsoft
Article Abstract:
The European Union plans to sanction Microsoft Corp. after the software giant balked at demands that could have prevented it from adding new features to future version of Windows, a restriction it avoided in its landmark U.S. antitrust case. EU Competition Commissioner Mario Monti has stated that he would move ahead with a precedent-setting ruling against the world's largest software company and it also plans to hit Microsoft with a fine expected to reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
