"THE EU ANTITRUST regulator is set to fine Microsoft more than €497 million for its anti-competitive behaviour over Windows XP.

The Wall Street Journal, quoting sources in the EU said that the announcement is likely to come tomorrow.

That figure is a lot lower than many thought, the EU is allowed to hit Microsoft for more than €3 billion."
