The European Commission has temporarily suspended an order requiring Microsoft to begin to offer a version of Windows without a media player this week.
European regulators hit Microsoft with the equivalent of an AU$474 million fine on Wednesday, citing the software giant's continued noncompliance with its landmark 2004 antitrust ruling.
Microsoft will have to offer a version of Windows without a bundled media player while its appeal against the EU makes its way through the courts.
Microsoft has appealed to a European court to overrule measures imposed by European antitrust regulators that the company says would hurt its competitive edge and give vital intellectual property to rivals.
European antitrust regulators late Wednesday were forced to push back the deadline for a decision on Oracle's hostile takeover bid for PeopleSoft, after Oracle missed a deadline to supply new market information.
