Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer met the European Union's competition commissioner, Neelie Kroes, on Tuesday to discuss the company's failure until now to fully comply with the E.U.'s antitrust ruling against the firm in May 2004, a spokesman for Kroes has confirmed.
The meeting took place on Tuesday evening and lasted for about one hour, according to Kroes' spokesman, Jonathan Todd. He said that Kroes made it clear that the European Commission, which is the E.U.'s executive body, expected Microsoft to comply with its ruling "urgently and in full."
