Microsoft mum on plans for EU Appeal
ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft kept its options open Tuesday on whether it will appeal a landmark antitrust ruling and record $613 million fine imposed by European competition authorities that an EU court upheld last month.
Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, visiting France to promote innovation, declined to say whether the software maker would contest the ruling to its last level, the European Court of Justice.
The Sept. 17 ruling by the EU's Court of First Instance means "there is a clear set of guidance for us, and we move on in that environment," he told lawmakers.
