Daum Files Antitrust Suit Against Microsoft
Share
Korea’s Daum Communications on Monday filed a 10 billion won ($8.8 million) lawsuit against Microsoft for allegedly violating the nation’s anti-trust law.
Daum contended that Microsoft and its Korean affiliate violated fair-trade regulations by bundling the Windows XP operating system with the instant messaging program MSN Messenger.
The lawsuit comes less than a month after the European Commission fined Microsoft for a record 497 million euros ($600 million) for antitrust violations and ordered them to exclude Windows Media Player from their Windows operating system and make available some of the operating system`s source code. Microsoft is expected to appeal against the commission`s ruling.
