Embattled software giant Microsoft has today announced a resolution with the European Union on the name of a new copy of Windows XP. Microsoft will sell the stripped down version of Windows XP in Europe as "Windows XP Home Edition N".
Horacio Gutierrez, a lawyer for Microsoft, told Reuters that the company has "some misgivings about the chosen name, as we fear it may cause confusion for consumers about the product, but we will adopt the Commission's name in order to move forward and accelerate the pace of the implementation process." Gutierrez said the new version would be available to European consumers within a "matter of weeks".
