Dude, else you can't do business in the Euro zone soon...

Bloomberg Uncut

Microsoft has finally met its previosuly extended deadlines on Nov. 23, regarding its data submission to the EU, thus avoiding a delay fine of 3 million euros ($3.9 million). This involves submitting data on how their Windows operating system communicates over the network.

Previously, they were keeping them secret and proprietary, which was considered to be unfair competition according to the EU anti-trust laws. Now, companies like IBM and Oracle will be determining if the information provided by Microsoft solves the problem of interoperability.

Way to go, Microsoft! You don't own the world!
