Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition

An anonymous reader writes "Flexbeta.net has got it's take on Windows XP Reduced Media Edition, which is basically Windows XP Pro stripped of its Windows Media Player. To sum it up, there is hardly any noticable difference between XP RME and XP Pro, except for the welcome screen and Windows not recognizing their own file format. The article hints how this may be the beggining to a Windows OS without any Microsoft applications. Bye-bye Internet Explorer?"

Windows without it's own apps?

[Pwned]

Wouldn't that be pretty useless? Instead of removing thier own apps shouldn't they just put effort in fixing them?

I would buy a $25 or $50 copy of Windows 98 SE if some other company was selling and supporting it though.
