MS To Offer Windows Sans WMP, If EU So Orders
PSwim writes "Microsoft has said it will remove Media Player from Window, if ordered by the EU this week. The 'Windows-Lite'
version will only be available in Europe. Best quote from the article involves its refusal to release networking documentation: '"The Commission says Linux would disappear" if Microsoft did not grant access to its documentation, Smith claimed. "But Linux is alive and well and I don't know any person at Linux or any Linux programmers who share the Commission's view."'"
The service pack will install WMP 9 anyway...none of this matters a single bit in the end. The only way to "stop" MS is to really go after them, jihad-style.
Why can't all fpga/microcontroller manufacturers just release free optimizing compilers???
