Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates may claim that the company plans to be "very responsive" to the European Union's antitrust demands. But Gates has a long way to go to prove that Microsoft isn't just thumbing its nose at the EU. Microsoft is being forced to rename "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition" by the EU, which was less than pleased by Redmond's choice. And, not too surprisingly, few, if any, of the major European PC makers plan to preload the version of Windows that doesn't include Media Player. No playing-field leveling here — at least not so far.
