Microsoft faces 'record EU fine'

edited March 2004 in Science & Tech
Software giant Microsoft is reportedly facing the biggest fine the EU has yet imposed for abuse of market dominance.

[blockquote]But EU member states met to discuss his proposals on Monday, after which leaks swirled round Brussels that it would be nearly 500m euros ($616m; £334m).

Microsoft has a cash pile of more than $50bn, so even a fine on this scale is unlikely to hurt it commercially.
