EU: Microsoft compliance deadline a week away
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft has until November 23 to provide European antitrust regulators with the technical documentation third parties require to make their products interoperate with Microsoft software.
The European Commission announced its deadline Wednesday, noting it has yet to receive "complete documentation" for technical information requested by EC in its March 2004 antitrust order against Microsoft. Among its stipulations, the order required the software giant to share protocol information with third parties, even rivals, so that their products could be designed to work with Microsoft's software.
