| Europe may make Microsoft offer two Windows versions |
|---|
European antitrust regulators are considering a requirement that Microsoft sell two versions of Windows in Europe — one with the music- and video-playing software stripped out — should they find the company to be an abusive monopoly, people close to the case said Tuesday.
Regulators may also demand that Microsoft itself propose "within a few months of a ruling" what computer code for Windows it should disclose to make the operating system fully compatible with programs and servers manufactured by rivals, these people said. Servers drive networks of personal computers.
