PC Makers See Little Reason to Deploy XP N

suitepotato writes "In this article, Ingrid Marson reports to CNet News that in a small survey of companies such as Dell, HP, and Lenovo, there are no real plans to deploy Microsoft's Windows XP N which was the version required by the European Union. It would seem that despite the rants of anger towards Microsoft that they were unfairly bundling Windows Media Player with Windows XP, the public at large would not seem to agree and is not actually demanding any such stripped down version. Perhaps the EU's actions were unnecessary?"

I don't see gripes over Linux distros coming with Konqueror (which is a godawful P.O.S.)...

How many of you anti-Microsoft fucktards want to sue your car manufacturer because they include their own air conditioner? And floor mats? Are you pissed that your apartment came with faucets pre-installed? Does it really make you mad when you buy a TV and the bastards dare to ship their own remote control unit with it? Get a fucking life, and stop whining for whining's sake. Assholes.

I could say successful antitrust prosecutions in both the US and Europe are a good sign, but really, it's more because I say so. I think it would make the PC industry interesting for a while. I also believe I should to be in charge. Of everything. People would have fun, whether they wanted to or not.
