The watered-down version of Windows XP that the European Union ordered Microsoft to produce and sell in its territory is proving to be VERY unpopular. European, American and international PC makers and distributors are thumbing their noses up at it, European retail chains are saying they will not carry it, and European consumers are speaking up too, asking why they should be made to buy an inferior product.
WinXP “N” was ordered after EU regulators ruled that the inclusion of the operating system’s popular Media Player propagated a Microsoft monopoly.
Consumers would rather have a fully operational WinXP, that they can uninstall the Media Player from if they choose to.
DUH!!
This is another example of regulators being out of step with what the public wants. It’s all the same the world over.
