What? It will only affect the N edition, just like the removal of WMP and other "monopolyware". All Microsoft has to do is offer retailers the option of purchasing a monopolyware-free edition throughout the EU and they've done their part; if said retailers choose to only buy the full editions, that's not Microsoft's fault.
