A memorandum from Microsoft argues against the European Commission’s antitrust decision, stating that Brussels is creating legal precedents that inflict long-term damage on the software developer’s business model. The memo outlines the legal strategy that the Redmond, Washington, software maker is to take in the appeals court in Europe shortly. The case is already dampening the outlook for the company. Microsoft last week reported fiscal third-quarter revenue that was above expectations, yet saw its earnings dented by the costs of a fine by the European Union.
