Europe’s second-highest court confirmed reports from early June that it will report its findings following Microsoft’s appeal against the EC’s record $613m fine and other remedies.
The court heard Microsoft’s appeal in April 2006 when the software giant argued against the sanctions imposed against it by the Competition Commission after it was found guilty of violating European competition laws in March 2004.
The commission originally imposed the $613m fine, as well as other remedies, including disclosing interface documentation to enable non-Windows servers to interoperate with Windows-based PCs, and offering PC manufacturers a version of the Windows operating system without Windows Media Player.
