[pchelpers] News:Decision due in Microsoft-EU row

*A long-running dispute between Microsoft and the European Union is set 
to be decided on Monday.*

The software giant will learn at about 0830BST if it has succeeded in a 
legal challenge to an EU ruling that it had abused its dominant market 
position.

A probe concluded in 2004 that Microsoft was guilty of freezing out 
rivals in server software and products such as media players.

It was ordered to change its business and fined 497m euros (£343m; $690m).

The 2004 ruling ordered Microsoft to ensure its products could operate 
with other computer systems by sharing information with rival software 
companies.

It was also ordered to make a versions of its Windows operating system 
available without software such as Media Player.
