Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said today he will ensure his company is "very responsive" to the antitrust demands of the EU.
The EU Commission believes Microsoft is dragging its feet in implementing sanctions designed to level the playing field between it and its competitors.
Yesterday Commission officials held further talks with Microsoft about the requirement that it offer a version of Windows without audiovisual software, and provide information about protocols so that rival makers of servers can compete.
But Mr Gates told reporters in Brussels Microsoft had a "great dialogue" with the Commission. "Anything they want us to do better, I will listen very carefully and make sure we are very responsive," Mr Gates said after meeting members of the Belgian parliament.
The Commission has also reminded Microsoft that it could face fines that may amount to as much as $5 million a day if it failed fully to implement the sanctions.
The Commission's demands stem from a March 2004 ruling that Microsoft abused its near-monopoly in the Windows operating system and must change its business practices.
