S. Koreans Win, Get Stripped Down Windows

It looks like S. Korea, after following the EU’s lead, will get their wish. The country will now get a stripped down version of XP, I like to call Windows EU (everything uninstalled), after suing MS for bundling media player and messenger.

South Korea's Fair Trade Commission fined Microsoft 32.5 billion won ($34 million) in December, saying the world's biggest software company breached anti-trust laws by selling a version of Windows that incorporated its media player and instant messaging services.
