European Union regulatory body is planning on fining Microsoft over browser choice on its Windows operating system according to a Reuters report.

Microsoft was  penalized by EU few years ago and was forced to offer up “browser ballot” selections screens for downloading an alternative browser for consumers in the EU.

Details on what Microsoft has done to anger the regulators are not clear,the Verge is of the opinion that it might relate to a late-2012 issue regarding browser choice on Windows 7 Server Pack 1.

“The Commission is planning to fine Microsoft before the Easter break,” one of the Reuters sources said.

“The size of the fine could be significant because this is the second time that Microsoft has failed to comply with an EU order.” the report added.
