摘要

Half a billion euro? Forget about it. The headline-grabbing EUD 497m ($612m) fine imposed by the European Commission on Microsoft this week is the least of the software giant's worries, for it makes that much profit every two weeks and is sitting on a cash pile nearly 100 times bigger. Far more worrying for Microsoft is the commission's demand that it produce, Within 90 days, a version of its Windows operating system stripped of its media-playback capabilities. That sounds trivial, but it would set an important precedent that could be used to make Microsoft remove other bits from Windows in future. Hence Microsoft's recent strenuous efforts to negotiate a settlement to avoid this week's ruling, and its determination to have the ruling overturned on appeal. Allowing PC-makers to pick and choose which bits of Windows they want from an "a la carte" list of features is something Microsoft wants to avoid at all costs.
