Microsoft appeals $357M EC fine
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft has filed an appeal of the $357 million fine levied by the European Commission this summer, the company said.
The Commission fined Microsoft in July for failing to allow its rivals to interoperate with Windows and refusing to unbundle its media player from the Windows operating system.
"The deadline for filing the appeal was October 2 and the deadline has been met," Microsoft spokesperson Anne-Sophie Debrancion told internetnews.com.
The European Court of First Instance confirmed that it received the appeal via fax yesterday afternoon, mere hours before the deadline expired.
