Microsoft will soon make a final presentation to seek a settlement with the European Commission of its probe into the U.S. software giant, a person close to the situation said on Wednesday. The source said EU's executive had not yet reached a conclusion on allegations of abuse of a dominant market position which it has been investigating against Microsoft. The Commission was expected to take into account Microsoft's presentation and recent conditions imposed on the company by a U.S. court in its decision, the source said. The Commission may either reach a settlement with Microsoft, as the U.S. Justice Department has done, or impose a remedy on the company.
