EU Official Surprised by Microsoft Source Code Offer

A Reuters newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

European Union Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said on Thursday she was surprised by Microsoft's decision to disclose its source code.

Kroes said her staff was analyzing whether the offer would resolve a dispute where the Commission has threatened to fine Microsoft up to two million euros daily. One key issue is the Commission's requirement that the software giant must give adequate documentation to rivals.
