Microsoft is facing fines from the European Commission for charges that it abused its dominant market position and may be ordered to reveal key secrets to competitors and change the way it distributes its media player software. “The Commission, the European Union’s executive body, said on Wednesday that it felt it had a strong case in its four-year antitrust probe against Microsoft and the amount of the fine would be linked to the severity and duration of the company’s perceived offense,” reports Reuters.
