Microsoft to change 'XP Reduced Media' moniker
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft said it would change the name of its European version of Windows without Media Player in response to concerns by the European Commission over its use of the term "XP Reduced Media." "We agreed to make the change in the spirit of compromise," said Microsoft spokeswoman Stacy Drake. "This is in the interest of the consumer." No new name has yet to be announced at this time, she added.
The decision to change the name on the European version of Windows less Media Player came after the European Commission apparently took issue with Microsoft's use of the term.
