The seven-page paper, posted late Wednesday on Microsoft's Web site, is a cross between a treatise and a legal brief, citing both the potential damage of the ruling and the alleged legal shortcomings of the decision.
"The commission is seeking to make new law that will have an adverse impact on intellectual property rights and the ability of dominant firms to innovate," Microsoft said in the paper. "This adverse impact will not be confined to the software industry or to Europe."
