EU poised to rule against Microsoft
The European Union’s top antitrust regulator is poised to issue a formal ruling that finds Microsoft guilty of breaking EU competition rules. The ruling is likely to be accompanied by fines for the US software group of up to €2m ($2.5m) a day.
The move came as Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and the world’s second-richest person, announced he would give the bulk of his fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
According to several people familiar with the EU case, the European Commission’s antitrust directorate has drafted a ruling stating that Microsoft has failed properly to implement the EU’s antitrust decision of March 2004. Brussels, which has been battling with the group for almost seven years, believes this constitutes a fresh violation by Microsoft.
