The EU has requested that Microsoft change the name of their new media free Windows operating system. According to BetaNews, the comission is concerned that the name is uninspired and consequently will have the affect of being unattractive to customers.
“We have agreed to make the change,” said Microsoft spokesperson Stacy Drake in a statement. “We’re working together with the commission to come up with an alternative name.”
Under the ruling, Microsoft is required to strip Windows Media Player from European editions of its flagship operating system for abusing its monopoly power.
