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???
Removing WMP from the bundle.
Makes for a different remedy. Leaping. Rhetoric.
Box-Turtles. Without our player.
You folks will be the less for it..our ubiquity is obvious. Allusions. Don't insinuate. Beyond understanding.
The retiring Chief of Intel pointing to saturation, large presence..the big kid on the block..as being - stifling - detrimental to innovation. Intel.
Choice is healthy. Intel is a hoodwinker.
The proper advertisement. " We are Intel. We are the market. " Their homeopathic. Give it to them again. Over there. Microsoft. Wal-mart. McDonalds. Claria.
Now. Anti-trust. Unfair advantage.

It's a guess. Oh. None finer. Esprit de corp. Video.
Audio. Golden. That part about( the silly part ), some bad
people multiplying like a vermin..we are reality. Gulp.
Here's the honest truth. I like stuff.
Hamburgers. Yum. The clown is fun.
You ask me. I'll tell you..proudly. XP. You. Deep breath.
This is honest. Applesauce.
Maybe Linux is good.
Good for Linux. The Court.
Microsoft. Applause. Helping.
Reluctant. Shares. If we lose.
Fines. Disclosure. Lite.
Shockingly. Complacence. A sticky rotten feeling. ..the version will contain a poison pill.."
Crippled. That's a fine description.
