SOFTWARE GIANT Microsoft has actually paid the European Union a $605 million anti-trust fine, despite appealing. Microsoft was ordered to pay the fine and make changes in its operating system to remove media player and disclose information about its work group server software. According to an EU spokesperson, a cheque has arrived from the Lair of the Vole in Redmond. If Microsoft wins its appeal, Steve will get it back, said the EU. | ||

| I haven't read this article, but IIRC, if MS didn't pay the fine right away, there's the possibility that it could remain in effect even during appeals process and accumulate each day it wasn't paid. So, no matter how MS' appeal goes, it's cheaper to pay the fine right away, then worry about getting the money back upon successful appeal. |
