The European Commission has concluded, after a five-year
investigation, that Microsoft Corporation broke European Union
competition law by leveraging its near monopoly in the market for PC
operating systems (OS) onto the markets for work group server
operating systems(1) and for media players(2). Because the illegal
behaviour is still ongoing, the Commission has ordered Microsoft to
disclose to competitors, within 120 days, the interfaces(3) required
for their products to be able to 'talk' with the ubiquitous Windows
OS. Microsoft is also required, within 90 days, to offer a version of
its Windows OS without Windows Media Player to PC manufacturers (or
when selling directly to end users). In addition, Microsoft is fined ¤
497 million for abusing its market power in the EU.

[2] http://www.directionsonmicrosoft.com/sample/DOMIS/update/2005/12dec/1205msrtr.htm
There are reports that the European Union (EU), which previously fined
Microsoft for tying the Windows Media Player to Windows, has asked
companies such as Symantec for information about the malware removal
tools market, signaling that it may want to examine the impact of
Microsoft's integration plans. Acknowledging this concern, Microsoft
has created the SecureIT Alliance to expand security and Internet
safety partnerships it currently has with other industry leaders and
governments, including the Virus Information Alliance (VIA) and the
Global Infrastructure Alliance for Internet Safety (GIAIS), among
others.
