Microsoft giving the EU the finger.

This is funny to me. It's nothing more than Microsoft giving the EU the big finger for trying to tell them what product to produce. I mean really, who is going to purchase something called "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition"? That is funny as hell to even think that would fly in the first place!

those european companies are the most fscking retarted pieces of sh!t that ever walked the planet :roll:

seriously, wtf....personally, when microsoft includes a feature free of charge, that will play my mp3's and cd's, i'm only THANKFUL! Here these bastards come alone and start complaining about the wonderful free stuff they're getting :|

if they don't like it, they should just SHUT THE FSCK UP AND GET LINUX GOD DAMNIT!@

Truth in advertising though. I mean, it won't even be able to play a music CD without extra software.

I don't see what the bid deal is. You can DL media player classic or winamp and you are all set.
Shame on MS for making you pay for Media player even in the version without it.

Yeah, but....what's the *point*? I mean, they don't have anything to compete with XP *with*! They are cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I mean, has anyone sitting in the EU ever thought what would happen is MS just announced "Ah, f*ck you guys, too hard to work with. We're taking our OSes and going home."

LOL. Guess everyone in Europe would have to learn Mac or Linux *real quick like*.
