fine of 2m euros/day on Microsoft

Few bad days with microsoft... they'll possibly come out of it.

The Commission is expected to rule that Microsoft has failed to fully implement its 2004 antitrust decision. Under the ruling, Microsoft had to supply rivals with information about its Windows operating system.

On Monday, Microsoft said it had begun to provide the information Brussels had demanded, but the Commission has signalled 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. At the time of the warning, the Commission said Microsoft would face fines of up to 2m euros a day if it did not comply immediately.

Illegal

As Microsoft has taken a further six months to begin handing over information, experts believe the Commission will take the view that the firm has been acting illegally since the warning. Brussels is currently preparing a draft ruling that will be presented to national competition authorities on Monday, while an official ruling is expected on 12 July.
