EU Threatens Microsoft With Penalties for Non-Compliance

An AP newswire article by Raf Casert, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The European Union took new legal steps against Microsoft Corp. on Thursday to ensure better compliance with its 2004 antitrust ruling, threatening fines of up to 2 million euros ($2.37 million) a day if the software giant does not meet its demands.

The EU head office is insistent that Microsoft must provide better documentation on its software programs to competitors in order to achieve interoperability with the dominant Windows PCs and servers. It gave Microsoft until Jan. 25 to answer the complaint.
