EU Fines Microsoft Record 899 Million Euros

The European Union has fined Microsoft a record $1.3 billion for charging unreasonably high royalties to competing software developers.

The fine is the biggest ever imposed on a single company. This is the first time the EU has penalized a company for failing to comply with an antitrust order.
