Microsoft Lose EU Appeal


Microsoft has lost its appeal against the record 497m euro (£343m; $690m) fine imposed by the European Commission in 2004. The European Court of First Instance upheld the ruling that Microsoft had abused its dominant market position.

Microsoft has two months to appeal at the European Court of Justice.

This one could run and run. I blogged earlier today about the potential importance of this case, even to software developers in New Zealand. That significance remains. Keep watching this space.
