Microsoft has been accused of dragging its feet over the introduction of a version of Windows that doesn't include Media Player
RealNetworks has criticised Microsoft for failing to provide a fully functional version of Windows that is unbundled from its media player, twelve months after the European Commission (EC) ruled that Microsoft was stifling competition in the market for media player software.
Back in March 2004 the EC had demanded that Microsoft produce a new version of its operating system that is not bundled with Windows Media Player and that this version must not be made "less attractive" to PC manufacturers through any commercial, technological or contractual terms.
