EU antitrust chief, Microsoft headed for clash
TechWeb | at | by Mike
Microsoft and European Commission antitrust officials again appear headed for a collision in their long-running dispute. Just days ahead of meeting, the chief EU antitrust enforcer said she will seek additional fines against the software company, while Microsoft insists that hundreds of programmers are trying to produce a remedy that will satisfy the EU.
Antitrust Commissioner Neelie Kroes said she expects EU Commissioners to approve a hefty daily fine against Microsoft when the commissioners meet next Wednesday.
