Microsoft Alleges EU Colluded With Rivals

An AP newswire article by Aoife White, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Microsoft Corp. filed a formal complaint with EU antitrust regulators Thursday, alleging that the European Commission withheld documents and secretly colluded with rival companies shortly before the EU charged that Microsoft had not obeyed an earlier ruling.

The EU said it had no immediate comment on the content or admissibility of what it termed Microsoft's "supplementary response" to the charges against the company. It said it would decide after a March 30 or 31 hearing if it would levy euro 2 million ($2.4 million) in daily fines against the company for not doing enough to provide competitors with the information needed to make their software work with Microsoft servers.
