SOFTWARE MEGAVOLE Microsoft has decided it won't bother appealing against a South Korean antitrust decision.

That fine is a joke and M$ knows it, hence they cannot be bothered to contest it.
They would have probably paid close to that amount in lawyer fees, employees missing days to appear in court & general air bussing of relevant personnel.
