Microsoft signs up first licencee for code
Under threat of new multi-million pound fines, Microsoft today said it had signed up its first licensee for a programme EU regulators told it to set up three years ago to share code that helps servers work with the Windows operating platform.
The European Commission threatened the software giant with new daily fines of €3m last week for not obeying its March 2004 antitrust order, claiming Microsoft was overcharging rivals for “complete and accurate” documentation.
