Microsoft next week is slated to make a major announcement with an unspecified European government to ease interoperability issues between its Office software suite and third-party programs, as well as alleviate its overseas antitrust headaches.
The announcement between Microsoft and European officials is deemed as one of the software giant's first major concessions as it attempts to speed the settlement of its antitrust woes in Europe. Plans call for the deal to be announced Monday, sources familiar with the situation said.
