On Wednesday, the European Court judge overseeing the European Union vs. Microsoft antitrust case did what many observers thought he would not. He denied Microsoft's request that the ordered remedies (including the unbundling of Windows Media Player from Windows) be postponed. Whether or not Microsoft appeals his denial, the Redmond software giant said it will deliver to European OEMs starting in January a Windows-Media-Player-free version of Windows. Microsoft also will publish communications protocols, including some heretofore-unpublished Windows Server ones, as part of the judge's order.

Microsoft To Rename Media Free XP

Microsoft To Rename Media Free XP 02/01/2005 09:40 PM
Microsoft have agreed to change the name of "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition."

The European Commission have asked Microsoft to rename the media free edition after fears that the name would discourage people from purchasing the edition. The name is now unknown and Microsoft and EU officials are working together to come to an agreement on the new editions naming scheme.

The media free edition of Windows XP is due to be released in February within Europe. Microsoft recently accepted the EU decision which meant that the company has to ship an edition of Windows XP without Windows Media Player. As well as stripping Windows Media Player from Windows XP, Microsoft has been ordered to reveal essential APIs to rival software companies like Apple and RealPlayer.
