Microsoft wants to avoid fines
Microsoft is making a last-ditch effort to avoid a fine of more than $ 2 million a day because it is alleged to violate the European Union's unfair anti-competition laws.
In the next 2 days, its lawyers will have to submit arguments before EU officials in closed rooms in Brussels.
European Commission said Microsoft did not comply with the verdict 2 years ago. Accordingly Microsoft must give competitors full of necessary information so that companies can allow their customers to easily integrate into Windows, Microsoft's operating system.
Microsoft said the EU ruling was too faint, unenforceable, and demanded not to impose a fine solution.
Nine out of 10 computers in the world have Windows operating systems. Therefore, it is very important for users to easily install other software service packages on Windows.
Last year, Microsoft began to publicize technology secrets about its operating system.
Microsoft thinks it has fully complied with the EU ruling and this time, it will submit evidence from other technology companies, to support its argument.
However, an expert in the EU committee recently called the documents "completely useless".
If Microsoft fails to convince the committee within the next two days, it will face a fine of up to $ 2.4 million a day, backwards from the end of last year.
