The judge chairing Microsoft's appeal against a European Commission antitrust ruling has asked why the firm had to give technical codes to other firms.

The five-day hearing stems from Microsoft's rejection of a landmark ruling by the Commission in 2004.
The firm was fined 497m euros ($613m; £344m) after a ruling it abused its dominance by muscling out rivals.

Now the judge has asked the Commission why Microsoft was also forced to share "commercial information" with rivals.

Gotta admit...he has a point lol.
