Microsoft's Windows XP (news - web sites) Pro operating system rolls off the assembly line. The Wall Street Journal said EU authorities could fine US software giant Microsoft 5 million dollars (3.8 million euros) per day if the company is unduly slow to apply measures imposed on it a year ago. The European Commission (news - web sites), which took action against Microsoft for abusing a dominant market position, would decide in two weeks' time on what to do, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
