Microsoft may soon face a fine up to 2 million euros daily

A reported by European Commission.

The Commission found two years ago that Microsoft used its dominant position in the Windows operating system to damage rival makers of server software used to run printers, password sign-ins and file access for small work groups.

"Microsoft is still not in compliance with its obligations under the March 2004 Commission decision," the Commission said.

Microsoft has challenged the 2004 decision and a hearing on its underlying case is set before the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg starting on Monday April 24.

Parties for all sides met with CFI President Bo Vesterdorf and reporting judge John Cooke to decide the schedule, a source familiar with the proceedings said.
