'Reduced Media' revisited
A report by Dow Jones Newswires, citing "people close to the company," says European antitrust officials have objected to Microsoft's plan to use the name "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition" for the stripped-down version of the operating system that the company is being forced to sell in Europe.
It isn't yet clear whether the name will be scrapped as a result. As noted in our earlier story on the subject, the ruling itself didn't explicitly address the issue of the product's name. However, a Microsoft spokesman acknowledged earlier this week that the name is subject to European Commission review.
