Microsoft to appeal EC's latest fines
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft said it would appeal the European Commission's $357M fine, arguing regulators jumped the gun over demands for technical documentation.
Laying groundwork for an appeal expected within two months of today's EC decision, Brad Smith, lead counsel for the software giant, said the commission was acting hastily.
"It's hard to understand why the Commission is rushing to grade our homework before the due date we've all agreed upon," Smith told reporters in a conference call following today's announcement.
