EU Rejects Microsoft Settlement Proposal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday February 17, 2004 @05:39AM from the don't-just-take-software dept.

Karl Cocknozzle writes "European Union antitrust officials have dismissed as insufficient Microsoft's offer to settle their most recent antitrust problem in Europe. Spokespeople for the European Commission and Microsoft declined to comment on a report in today's Financial Times that Microsoft had offered to include rival media player software from Apple and Real Networks on a CD-ROM packaged with personal computers to help resolve the case. Previously, the EU had demanded that Microsoft either unbundle Windows Media Player, or also bundle rival media players with Windows. It appears that Microsoft might get more than a slap on the wrist this time around."

Crap, forget it. I don't have the energy to complete this thought. Mod down appropriately.
