Two parties involved in the European Union (news - web sites)'s investigation of Microsoft secured a few extra days to draft comments. The parties are expected to deliver those comments by Wednesday, after missing a Monday deadline. The late comments are not expected to affect the outcome of the proceeding.
A representative for the European Competition Commission declined to comment on the delay requests.
The Competition Commission is investigating whether Microsoft used its market dominance in desktop operating systems to unfairly gain share in the server market. In August, the regulatory body extended its probe to include streaming media software.
