| Microsoft Hit With 280m Euro Fine Microsoft has been fined 280.5m euros ($357m; £194m) by the European Commission for failing to comply with an anti-competition ruling. The software giant will appeal against the fine which follows a long-running dispute between it and EU regulators. The move follows a landmark EU ruling in 2004, which ordered the US firm to provide rivals with information about its Windows operating system. EU regulators also warned Microsoft it could face new fines of 3m euros a day.
