The European Commission held out the possibility recently that Microsoft may be fined up to 5% of its average daily turnover, unless it complies soon with a European Union (EU) anti-trust decision.
Last month, Microsoft lost a month-long court bid to suspend sanctions for breaking the law and said it would offer a stripped-down version of Windows and share some protocols with rival makers of servers by early February.
“We obviously expect the remedies to be complied within a matter of weeks — measured from last December — rather than months,” spokesman Jonathan Todd said on Friday.
