Microsoft Corp., bowing to pressure from EU regulators, will take steps to make its top-selling software to work better with competing products.

Microsoft will publish the so-called protocols used to connect its most popular software to other programs, eliminating an advantage.

The decision makes it easier and cheaper to license and obtain the information needed to write programs that work with Microsoft's flagship software. The world's biggest software maker had come under fire because its own products knew more about how to hook up and work with Windows, limiting competition.
