EU order Microsoft to comply with ruling

The EU's new competition Commissioner, Neelie Kroes, apparently told Steve Balmer yesterday that Microsoft was not doing enough to comply with the sanctions applied last year over the company's breach of EU antitrust regulations. A Commission spokesman told the BBC that "Ms Kroes said that the Commission expects the decision adopted in March 2004 to be complied with urgently and in full, and she added that unless this was the case that the Commission would be obliged to take formal steps to ensure compliance."
