Microsoft was fined today with a record amount of $1.3bn on an antitrust battle.

I know Microsoft actions last week on it’s statement to open up Windows API is a little bit skeptical but I think it did not excite Neelie Kroes, the European Union Competition Commisioner.

Neelie Kroes has been very open with her distrust and skepticism with Microsoft.  “Talk is cheap,” Ms. Kroes said.  As the report pointed out, the fine could have been much higher. 

Let us see how Microsoft will play this out.  This is a huge amount.  Not to mention that Microsoft also need some more capital to raise for its bid on Yahoo.
