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.

  1. Why should windows media player be removed? by ad0gg · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Windows has had a bundled windows media player since Windows 3.0 way before Real came out with media player or before Real even existed. You can make a case for the browser being removed but i can't see how you can make a case against media players.
