Microsoft Agrees With EU On Name For New
Windows XP
Microsoft Agrees With EU On Name For New
Windows XP
03/28/2005 04:42 PMEmbattled software giant Microsoft has today announced a resolution
with the European Union on the name of a new copy of Windows XP. After
being found guilty by a court in 2004 of breaking EU monopoly law, the
company is being forced to sell a stripped down version of Windows XP
without Media player components.
Microsoft will sell the stripped down version of Windows XP in Europe
as "Windows XP Home Edition N". Previous announcements had
suggested names such as "Windows XP reduced Media Edition",
yet these proved unpopular with the EU regulators who believed the
name would be unattractive to consumers. Microsoft’s most recent
decision represents a small victory for the EU who has had difficultly
enforcing its judgments on the company.
Microsoft has yet to comply with another part of the EU judgment which
stipulates that the company must open up access to server protocols.
Negotiations have stumbled over terms of the license which was
prohibitive to open source software makers. Microsoft are also in
disagreement with EU over plans to appoint a trustee to monitor
Microsoft's compliance, or lack there of. If Microsoft fails to comply
with the Commission’s decisions, they could face fines of up to $5
million per day.
Horacio Gutierrez, a lawyer for Microsoft, told Reuters that the
company has "some misgivings about the chosen name, as we fear it
may cause confusion for consumers about the product, but we will adopt
the Commission's name in order to move forward and accelerate the pace
of the implementation process." Gutierrez said the new version
would be available to European consumers within a "matter of
weeks".
Microsoft faced a similar situation with the US DoJ in the late
nineties. However, with deep pockets and large settlements the
company's rivals are less vocal and of a smaller number. The problem
Microsoft faces with the EU is that it is unable to "bargain its
way out of settlement", as some critics have suggested the
company did in the USA. With no clout over the European Commission,
the company faces a serious problem: it might just have to comply.
