The Wall Street Journal (subscription required, so no link) reports:
Microsoft Corp. said Monday it is ready to put a stripped down version of Windows on the market if it fails this week to persuade a judge to suspend a landmark European Union antitrust decision.
It wouldn’t surprise me of the recent announcement of the “Windows Light” variant in the Far East was part of this effort. Personally, I’d be very interested in a lightweight version of Windows that cost $10-20 instead of $100. At that price, anyone running an older version of Windows could probably justify the upgrade for security reasons.
