Microsoft was publicly warned on Monday that it has one more week to
comply with
the antitrust sanctions imposed by the European Commission last year,
or face
fines of up to $5m a day.
The US software group has until the end of this month to hand in a final
proposal saying how it intends to implement the Commission ruling.
Should the
proposal fail to meet the Commission's demands, Brussels can impose
fresh
financial penalties.
