EC visits Microsoft to discuss case

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Antitrust investigators from the European Commission are holding meetings with key Microsoft officials at the company's U.S. headquarters to discuss whether it is complying with the Commission's antitrust ruling of March 2004, a Commission spokesman confirmed Tuesday.

Officials from the Commission team working on Microsoft's case have been in Redmond, Washington, since Monday to hear the company's arguments about why it believes it has complied with the Commission's 2004 ruling. In that ruling the Commission ordered the company to offer a version of Windows without its Media Player and ensure that rival developers could interoperate with its workgroup server software.
