Microsoft is seeking a delay to replying to new issues raised by the European Commission with the U.S. software giant, a European Union soruce said on Tuesday. Microsoft has approached the Commission for a delay in its reply to a statement of objections issued in August, the source said.
The company had no comment on the reports of the request for a delay, but earlier in Rome its European Chief Executive Officer Jean-Philippe Courtois had said the company wanted to take as much time as it could get to put together a reply.
"We expect to reply in the next few weeks or months," he told reporters at a conference in Rome on Tuesday.
