Microsoft announced this week that it had submitted its final response to the European Commission's antitrust ruling against it, ahead of the June 1 deadline.
The European Commission in March 2004 ordered the software giant to create a version of its Windows operating system that does not come bundled with the Windows Media Player, and to improve the interoperability of its server software, in order to allow competitors to create products that can effectively interact with it.
As the negotiations between the firm and the EC dragged on, the Commission recently warned that continued non-compliance with the ruling could earn Microsoft a fine of 5% of its global daily turnover for each day that the EC requirements are not fulfilled.
Speaking to the European media on Wednesday, Jonathon Todd, spokesman for Competition Commissioner, Neelie Kroes announced that:
"Contact continued between the European Commission and Microsoft until late last night. The Commission will now carefully analyse what has been put on the table and decide whether or not we consider that Microsoft has complied with the March 2004 decision."
