EU might require 2 Windows versions
SeattlePI | at | by Mike
European antitrust regulators are considering a requirement that Microsoft Corp. sell two versions of Windows in Europe -- one with the music- and video-playing software removed -- should they find the company to be an abusive monopoly, people close to the case said yesterday.
Regulators may also demand that Microsoft itself propose "within a few months of a ruling" what computer code for Windows it should disclose to make the operating system fully compatible with programs and servers manufactured by rivals, these people said.
