According to various sources familiar with the case, European Union (EU) antitrust regulators will demand that Microsoft let PC makers choose which media players to include with their Windows-based PCs, rather than force the software giant to ship a stripped-down Windows version in the European market. The EU is said to be walking away from the stripped-down Windows version concept out of fear that few people would want such a product and because Microsoft might argue that developing a custom product for just one region of the world would be unnecessarily difficult.
