[quote=YVONNE,272606]It is reported that EU has made a record fine against Microsoft for defying a landmark 2004 anti-trust ruling. In total, MS needs to pay about 899 million Euros (1.35 billion dollars). The European Commission made a announcement that MS failed to charge rivals reasonable prices for access to key information about its work-group or back-office servers in contravention of the 2004 ruling. The commission once fined Microsoft 497 million euros in March 2004 and ordered the company to open some key software to rivals so they could make compatible products. Last October, MS declared to abide by the anti-trust rules made by EU in 2004 and agreed to offer some key info to its rivals to make their products compatible with Windows system.[/quote]
