Microsoft could pull Windows from South Korea

Microsoft has warned that if South Korean regulators order it to remove code or redesign Windows as part of an ongoing unfair competition investigation, it could pull the operating system from the market or delay the introduction of new versions.
The warning was relayed Thursday in a Microsoft regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said it is possible that the Korea Fair Trade Commission -- the country's antitrust body -- could issue a remedial order barring a version of Windows that includes its Media Player or MSN Messenger software.
