Korea’s anti-trust regulator Wednesday (Ed: Dec 7th) imposed a fine of roughly 33 billion won ($31.9 million) on Microsoft for its violation of the nation’s fair trade rule.

Microsoft will be required to offer two versions of Windows within six months - one stripped of thus far incorporated programs (Ed: Messenger and Media Player) and the other that includes most software available here.

[Ed - It's good to see not all governments bend under Microsoft pressure. You may remember MS threatened to withdraw Windows from the Korean market if MS would be found guilty. Please also look at the story "Will Microsoft Pull Out of Korea?" - hkwint]
