Microsoft appeals record-breaking fine


Microsoft will this week appeal the anti-trust decision, and record breaking fine, imposed on the company by Mario Monti and his Competition Commission G-men. Microsoft will file in the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg this week. It says the ruling would hamper its ability to innovate.

Back in March the Competition Commission hit the software giant with a €497m fine and ordered it to offer a version of Windows without Media Player.
