S. Korea May Have To Do Without Windows

Captain Newbie · Oct 28, 2005

The Register, forever Biting the Hand that Feeds IT, is reporting that the South Korean Fair Trade Comission is creating enough of a stir in re. Windows' bundling of software (especially Messenger and Media Player) is of concern to the South Koreans, enough concern that Microsoft says...

"If the KFTC enters an order requiring Microsoft to remove code or redesign Windows uniquely for the Korean market, it might be necessary to withdraw Windows from the Korean market or delay offering new versions in Korea unless the remedial order is stayed or overturned on appeal."

M$ won't give up the Korean market over that. It's too big a market. Time to call their bluff.
