Excuse me, I misread the information in my ignorance. The European Commission is the executive branch of the EU, not a court. They laid an arbitrary fine of $613 million on the company.

Still, with that in mind, I don't see what forces MicroSoft to pay. I mean, what is Europe going to do? Ban the import of Windows?
