Microsoft Responds to EU Allegations of Overcharging Rivals
,----[ Quote ]
| The EU had given Microsoft until Monday night to come through with a
| response on the fees it seeks from competitors to share computer
| information, and threatened daily fines that could go as high as $4

From Microsoft's own mouth:
"For example, we should take the lead in establishing a common approach
to UI and to interoperability (of which OLE is only a part). Our efforts
to date are focussed too much on our own apps, and only incidentally on
the rest of the industry. We want to own these standards, so we should
not participate in standards groups. Rather, we should call 'to me' to
the industry and set a standard that works now and is for everyone's
benefit. We are large enough that this can work."
