[ilugd] Microsoft must pay $1.4bn to EU

2008-02-27 Thread Yashpal Nagar
The European Commission has fined US computer giant Microsoft for
defying sanctions imposed on it for anti-competitive behaviour.
Microsoft must now pay 899 million euros ($1.4bn; £680.9m) after it
failed to comply with a 2004 ruling that it took part in monopolistic
practices.

The ruling said that Microsoft was guilty of not providing vital
information to rival software makers.

I too second the thought. I don't think this list is part of a crusade
against M$.
