Microsoft had quickly appealed, arguing that the excessive and disproportionate to the amount that was in addition to two previous fines of 497 and 281 million euros.
The procedures are lengthy, the hearing of this appeal took place yesterday. The Court of the European Court of Justice will deliver its verdict in the coming months.

If necessary, Microsoft could make a last appeal to the Court of Justice itself.
