South Korean regulators raided Microsoft Corp.'s local offices on Thursday, following allegations that the US company violated trade regulations by slapping MSN messenger onto it's Windows operating system.
The investigation was conducted by South Korea's Fair Trade Commission after the European Union fined Microsoft, this spring, for 500 million Euros – that's about $611 million dollars. The Fair Trade Commission claims it'll carry out onsite investigations of Microsoft Korea through next Wednesday. An anonymous FTC official told cnews.com that the probe was related to a complaint by Daum Communications Corp. back in 2001.

    ;D;D
    Don't tell SCO that. I bet they would sue Microsoft in a heartbeat if someone told them that they used SCO's code while writing MS Office. There could be a whole COPS series on different countries raiding Microsoft's offices around the world.
