Aiming to portray itself as the victim of overreaching regulators, Microsoft on Wednesday released a position paper insisting that the European Union's antitrust sanctions amount to "new law" that could hurt others in the technology industry.
Microsoft's decision to remove language from a licensing agreement that has long rankled computer makers reflects a growing willingness by the software giant to tweak the way it does business, according to analysts.
What does the European Union's ruling mean for Microsoft in terms of fines and future product development?
Microsoft plans to file next week its formal appeal of a European Union ruling that the software giant violated antitrust law and should be fined and made to curtail its business practices.
Microsoft announced late Friday that it will pay more than US$23 million to settle an antitrust suit filed by onetime operating system rival Be.
