Gates: Stripped-Down Windows Is Possible -- 10:25 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

In the Microsoft antitrust remedy hearings, Bill Gates admitted that a stripped-down version of Windows is possible. By "stripped down" they mainly mean without Internet Explorer and Media Player. Now, whether that is actually going to help anybody or not is another matter. For me, the main thing from the antitrust case is not what the government can get, but what competitors can get once the whole thing is opened up to lawsuits. I'm not a big fan of lawsuits, but losing money may be the only way to get Redmond's attention. Thanks Slashdot.
