Microsoft Implementation of European Commission Decision

In compliance with the European Commission Decision, Microsoft will produce for distribution in Europe new versions of Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. These new versions will not contain certain multimedia-related components specified in the European Commission Decision. These multimedia-related components are comprised of 186 files in these versions of Windows. (A list of these files is in the Appendix.) The regular versions of Windows XP Home Edition and Professional will continue to include those components and will remain available to European consumers.
*** these new versions will be priced the same as Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. *** We are currently planning to name these new products Windows XP Home Reduced Media Edition and Windows XP Professional Reduced Media Edition
