This brings the total to 1.4 billion euros.

Interestingly this last fine covers the period of non-compliance with EU anti-trust rulings from June 21, 2006 to October 21, 2007.

The AFP article goes on to say:

Despite the court ruling, Microsoft's troubles with EU competition regulators are far from over.

Since its court victory, the European Commission has launched a new investigation targeting the interoperability of a broad range of software, including Microsoft's popular Office package, with rival products.
