MS Firewall is not required.
MS media player is not required.
MS browser is not required.
MS CD/DVD software is not required.
MS Disk Defragmenter is not required.
MS Defender is not required.
Etc..
The only thing EU does by forcing MS to create "basic" versions of their OS for EU sales is hurt the buyers of those MS products. (the EU version MS made of XP is a VERY poor seller for that very reason)
Let the buyers and OEMs decide what to include and what not to include. So long as MS does not try and force their software by contract leverage or by code prevention there is no point in restricting what they can include.
MS should just send them a copy of Windows 95
