Microsoft To Rename Media Free XP
Microsoft have agreed to change the name of "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition."

The European Commission have asked Microsoft to rename the media free edition after fears that the name would discourage people from purchasing the edition. The name is now unknown and Microsoft and EU officials are working together to come to an agreement on the new editions naming scheme.

The media free edition of Windows XP is due to be released in February within Europe. Microsoft recently accepted the EU decision which meant that the company has to ship an edition of Windows XP without Windows Media Player. As well as stripping Windows Media Player from Windows XP, Microsoft has been ordered to reveal essential APIs to rival software companies like Apple and RealPlayer.
