Microsoft doesn't want a hearing; it wants a conversation.

The company today filed its official response to the European Commission's Competition Committee's Statement of Objection (SO), issued in March, which accused Microsoft of charging monopoly prices for interoperability protocols for its Windows Workgroup servers.

But the software vendor, which had until the end of the month to respond, said it wants the commission to tell it what its prices "must be in order to qualify as 'reasonable.'"
