Claims of the European Commission to
Microsoft did not go unanswered. On the last day of the deadline for the response, the software giant found it necessary to break out a letter addressed to the members of the anti-monopoly committee.
In March 2007, Microsoft was presented with a number of complaints, the essence of which was that Microsoft was obliged to provide third-party developers (often competitors) with access to information about their products, and she was offered to do this practically free of charge. The company insists on a royalty rate of 5.95%.
Now Microsoft declares that it is ready for a constructive dialogue, even if the ESC will make the amount of the fine more acceptable (it was planned to fine the company with $ 4 million every day, starting from April 23, if it pushes back).
