Windows XP Home Edition N...o one wants

06/24/2005 07:22 PMPC makers, distributors pass on Windows XP N:
Microsoft was forced to start selling a version of Windows in Europe
that didn't include Windows Media Player. So Microsoft created
"Windows XP Home Edition N."
But — big surprise — no one wants it. I mean,
why would you? Who would buy a purposely disabled version of the
software? This means that the "punishment" meted out by the court
means exactly nothing.
Spanish online computer store Publinet has not ordered the
product.
"We'll first see how it sells. I heard that this version would be
cheaper," said Jose Cabeza, technical director for Publinet. "If it
isn't, logically the market will decide about it. I don't see why a
client on the street would choose a lesser product."
Microsoft originally wanted to call the product "Windows XP Reduced
Media Edition," but the court nixed that since they felt Microsoft
was trying to dissuade consumers from buying it.
It looks like that doesn't matter — according to the article,
retailers aren't even buying it. I think consumers are going
to have to look around a bit to even find someone who stocks it.

In my opinion, forcing Microsoft to ship media

media format dominance.
Instead, Microsoft should have been forced to place media player IP
and code in the
public domain as well as bundle several competitive media
players. Of course,
the monopolist side of me still think anti-monopoly whiners are
just wimps but I'll
change my tune when I have a lucrative reason to.

09/03/2004 08:18 AMThe most striking change to Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, the
much-awaited upgrade to the player/jukebox that ships on most new PCs,
is its dramatic cosmetic overhaul. Windows Media Player (WMP) no
longer feels like a freebie utility thrown in with the OS (think
Notepad), but is an application you'll actually want to use. By giving
you easy access to all of your multimedia files (music, photos, and
video) and helping you accomplish the tasks you're likely to want to
do with them, WMP 10 at least equals — and in our estimation
surpasses — the current leader in the field, MusicMatch Jukebox 9.

07/02/2004 01:22 AMMicrosoft apparently requires “greater clarification” on
which specific files need to be removed so that it can comply with the
EU’s court ruling. Microsoft has been ordered to remove
it’s Media Player from Windows immediately, but apparently this
has caused some confusion.
Now if someone asks me to remove a program from my computer, I know
that I am competent enough to understand what “files need to
removed”. I believe this is just another Microsoft stall tactic
and should be looked upon as such.

Revealed
Windows XP "Reduced Media Edition"
Revealed
02/07/2005 02:10 AMThis week at Neowin we've had the chance to take a look at Microsoft's
answer to the
controversial EU decision.
Microsoft have been forced to remove their Windows Media Player from
Windows XP. The product which was originally named "Reduced Media
Edition" is
rumoured to be renamed after the EU complained to
Microsoft officials about their naming strategy.
During the setup it's clear that Microsoft have changed the EULA of
Windows XP adding in the following:
"11. NOTICE REGARDING THE ABSENCE OF REMOVED CODE.
Certain portions of Windows XP Professional associated with Windows
Media are not included in the Software ("Removed Code"). The
absence of the Removed Code renders inoperable certain Windows XP
Professional features related to playback of media, transfer of media
to devices, creation and editing of personal video, content protection
of media, and playback of Windows Media audio and video by third-party
software and websites unless additional software is installed. A
partial list of currently known issues is available at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=30822."
;
Once setup is finished users are presented with the standard
configuration of Windows XP. However as part of the very limited
changes in this edition users are
first informed that this version of XP
"includes standard Windows functionality, with the exception of
certain Windows multimedia technologies". Once XP is finished
installing the
system properties show that the operating
system recognises itself as "Reduced Media Edition",
however, no other UI differences can be noted. Interestingly
Microsoft left the "Play All" option
in the Music Tasks pane within explorer. Using this link just causes
the system to throw up an error sound but no onscreen message.
When a user wants to play a .wma file they're
presented with the default option of going
onto the internet to find what WMA is associated with. On the
Windows File Association site users
are given the two options of installing Windows Media Player or
Winamp. Once WMP10 is installed on the system the user cannot remove
it and cannot revert back to an edition of Windows XP without Windows
Media Player. If WMP10 is installed users can use the "Play
All" option in explorer.
All in all, there haven't been many major changes to this edition and
it's expected to be released in the coming weeks under a different
name. With OEM PC makers rejecting the OS and little interest from
consumers, one can't but wonder just how happy the EU is going to be
with the outcome of this judgement. In other news, Open Source
developers have complained that Microsoft's proposed resolution
regarding inter-operability licenses shuts out developers working
under the GPL. Open Source groups hope to lobby the EU not to accept
Microsoft's proposals.
