Microsoft meets Brussels deadline

The BBC is reporting that Microsoft has met its June 1st deadline set by the EU Commission. While a name for the stripped version of Windows XP hasn't been announced yet, the most popular candidate is probably Reduced Media Edition.

US software giant Microsoft has met a 1 June deadline for responding to a landmark European Union antitrust ruling against the company.

"We have submitted proposals and we are awaiting a response from the EU Commission," a spokesman said.

In 2004, Brussels found Microsoft guilty of abusing its market dominance and fined it 497m euros ($655m; £340m). If the EU considers Microsoft's response to have fallen short, it could hit the firm with daily fines of $5m.
