European regulators raided the offices of Intel and a number of PC-related companies early on Tuesday as part of an antitrust investigation into the chipmaker.
The expected version of Windows without Microsoft's Media Player is being held up by technical issues, despite the release of the scaled-down operating system being a fundamental part of European antitrust reparations against the software giant, according to EU authorities.
The four largest PC vendors have no plans to sell the media player-free version of Windows which Microsoft was ordered to offer by Europe's competition commissioner.
A major UK retail store and three of the largest PC vendors worldwide still have no plans to sell the version of Microsoft Windows that does not contain its media player, five months after the version was released.
The new millennium was the year Microsoft was ordered to bifurcate, dot-coms tanked on Wall Street, WorldCom's Bernie Ebbers saw his merger mania capped and Napster scared the recording industry nearly to death. 2000 was a cascading waterfall of events that ended any doubts about the Net's ability to change the way we think, learn, play and do business.
Fears of the Millennium Bug drove a generation of companies to upgrade their PCs, but four years on, those systems need to be replaced and such a mammoth task has serious environmental implications.
