Microsoft says it has worked hard to meet the commission's demands
Microsoft has been fined 280.5m euros ($357m; £194m) by the European Commission for failing to comply with an anti-competition ruling.
The software giant will appeal against the fine which follows a long-running dispute between it and EU regulators.
The move follows a landmark EU ruling in 2004, which ordered the US firm to provide rivals with information about its Windows operating system.
