The Court of First Instance in Luxembourg upheld penalties imposed in March by the European Commission when it found that Microsoft had abused the virtual monopoly of its computer operating system Windows. Microsoft is now required to sell a version of Windows without the Media Player audio visual software, and to share protocols with rival computer-server makers. Competitors such as Apple's Quicktime player, and RealPlayer said they were damaged by Windows when it was sold including its own Media Player. |
