Gates Admits Stripped Down Windows Possible

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-of-course-it-is dept.

ChristTrekker writes "The Financial Times reports that Bill Gates admitted a stripped-down Windows is possible after all." This kinda contradicts a lot of other stuff he's been saying. There's a few bits in the article worth a read.

    Given that Gates testified one day earlier, that it was impossible, and made similar claims in his 163 page written testimony, it is an important issue.

    But of course from reading your response we can tell that you haven't followed Gates testimony but are just hand-waving, can't we?

    And yet it is the strip down version implemented by 98micro which the renegade states and all the slashbots are proposing Microsoft be forced to release.

    What is interesting is that this contradicts one of the other proposed constraints, that being that Microsoft can't release a version of Windows that breaks third party products. Weird how the states and slashbots haven't thought through their remedies.
