Microsoft Corp said on Thursday it would make key technology elements of some of its best-selling software widely available to boost interoperability with its competitors and customers.

To make connecting with third-party software easier, Microsoft will publish on its Web site key software blueprints, known as application program interfaces, pertaining to its high-volume products used by other Microsoft merchandise.

In September, a European Union court upheld a landmark ruling that the world's biggest software maker had abused its dominant market position.
