  1. In South Korea, the company was found to have violated antitrust rules by the country’s Fair Trade Commission. Microsoft was forced to pay a W32.5 billion (~US$34 million) fine and unbundle Windows Media Player and Windows Messenger from the Windows operating system.

    With a South Korean court declining Microsoft’s appeal last month, the company today released a new version of Windows for the South Korean market. Similar to the poorly-received Windows XP Professional Edition N available in Europe, the South Korean version of the operating system will come in two flavors: one with Windows Live Messenger and Windows Media Player removed, and one with a link to a site where competing applications can be downloaded.

    So: Its a version without Live messenger and Windows Media Player.
