EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i'd-get-on-that-guys dept.

Lord_Slepnir writes "The European Union is unsatisfied with Microsoft's compliance with their anti-trust compliance from 2004, and is preparing to fine them 2 million Euros ($2.5m US) per day until they comply. Under that ruling, Microsoft must open up parts of their operating system to competitors, and change how they bundle Media Player." From the article: "On Monday, Microsoft said it had begun to provide the information Brussels had demanded, but the Commission has signaled the company acted too late. In December, Brussels informed the software giant that it had failed to comply with the original ruling it issued in March 2004."

    why is Bill (Locutis) Gates still used to mark all Microsoft banter? He's gone, shouldn't we be making adolescent jokes about someone else now?
