No stay for Microsoft in South Korea

Seattle PI | at | by Mike

Microsoft said Tuesday that it will comply with sanctions imposed by South Korea's antitrust regulator after a court rejected the company's request for a stay.

Microsoft had asked the Seoul High Court to allow penalties to be suspended while the company pursues a legal challenge to a ruling earlier this year by the Korea Fair Trade Commission ordering it to provide two separate versions of Windows beginning Aug. 24.

"Consistent with the court's decision, Microsoft will, in a timely manner, comply with the KFTC's order," the Redmond-based company said.
