In February 2008, the European Commission fined Microsoft for the record-breaking amount of 899 million Euros, for not complying to the 2004 ruling from Brussels. Today, Microsoft announced it has decided to appeal the fine. "We are filing this appeal in a constructive effort to seek clarity from the court. We will not be saying anything further," the company stated.

I do not think that the fine will be increased. However, the fine was for specific types of violations and only covers up through last fall. The EC has not yet investigated the field where the most damaging of Microsoft's skeletons are buried.
The current dog an pony show that Microsoft is conducting, in which they proclaim their new devotion to openness and sharing, is intended to head off such an investigation, although it appears the the EC isn't buying it.
