EU fines Microsoft unprecedented $357.3 mln

“European Union regulators fined Microsoft […] 280.5 million euros ($357.3 million) on Wednesday for defying a 2004 antitrust ruling, and warned the company to comply or face bigger fines from next month. […]

Microsoft faces an increased further fine of up to 3 million euros a day if it continues not to comply with an order by July 31. The Commission requires Microsoft to give information to rival server software makers to make their applications run smoothly with Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows operating system.”
