Windows XP N a Bust

Posted by Zonk on from the new-version-of-vanilla dept.

mushupork writes "CNN has an interesting article about the just-released Windows XP N. From the article: 'Computer distributors and manufacturers are so far showing little interest in the new product, which compels consumers to choose their media player and download it from the Internet.' Could this open some eyes and increase interest in alternative (Linux, Mac) offerings?" Similar to an earlier article about the same issue from the PC Makers end.

    You may wish to try nLite. http://www.nliteos.com/

    It allows you to customize a install cdrom for XP, i.e. no Media Player or Movie Maker. (Can also remove a whole lot more.)
