Microsoft lashes out at European Commission
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft's top lawyer sharply criticized the European Commission Thursday, saying the organization "moves the goal post and demands another change" whenever the company tries to comply with the March 2004 antitrust decision.
The unusually strong, five-paragraph response came from Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, about two hours after a Commission spokesman accused the company of failing to comply with its directive on workgroup server interoperability. The Commission gave Microsoft five weeks to comply or face daily fines of 2 million (US$2.4 million).
