A conclusion to the six year-long European antitrust case against Microsoft is imminent, a European Commission spokeswoman said on Monday. "We are concluding the case," said Commission competition spokeswoman Amelia Torres. Commission antitrust officials have drafted a final ruling in the case. The ruling may follow the line the Commission took last August when it issued Microsoft with a statement of objections. Microsoft was accused of abusing its dominant position in the software market by obstructing rivals' programs from working with the ubiquitous Microsoft Windows operating systems.
