SOUTH KOREA FINES MICROSOFT
GWACHEON, South Korea — South Korean antitrust regulators ruled today that Microsoft Corp. abused its market dominance, fined it 33 billion won ($32 million) and ordered the company to offer alternative versions of Windows. Microsoft said it will appeal the decision in court.
The ruling comes after the U.S. software giant reached separate settlements with companies that then withdrew the complaints that led to the investigation. The companies complained that Microsoft violated trade rules by tying its instant messenger software to Windows.
The commission ordered Microsoft to offer two versions of Windows in South Korea within 180 days.
