Microsoft reportedly plans to push for a negotiated settlement of its antitrust dispute with the European Union (EU), even if it means deleting the Windows Media Player (WMP) from its operating system.
According to weekend media reports out of Brussels, where Microsoft's lead attorney Brad Smith met with reporters, the software giant is willing to stop bundling the media player with its Windows operating system if it can't persuade the court to annul the EU regulators' decision and to suspend or substantially reduce the record fine imposed.
