MS May Be Forced To Sell Stripped-Down OS In EU

An anonymous reader submits "According to this article at Infoworld, Microsoft may be forced to sell a stripped-down version of Windows in the EU as a result of antitrust rulings, unless a settlement is reached during the next month to six weeks." (See this post from last week for more background on the EU's antitrust proceedings.)

    MS "openness" gives me the creeps. I mean, it's like when they offer you "the first try for free" in drugs. They want everyone to work by their DRM, so they can ground their grip on the market, and use it as a standard "de facto" when negociating with the big content providers. All the little companies developing by their DRM are doing the dirty work for them.
