That's madness. These people obviously don't get it when they make this stuff up.

Of course microsoft aren't going to put their competitors software on the windows disk when they have their own product. It's not as though people cannot install another browser. How hard can it be?

Give microsoft a break (never thought I would think that) and get yourself some lessons in commerce. The people who thrashed this out have never installed windows on a machine and probably think it's the devils work anyway.

C ompanies that have a near monopoly have a legal responsiblity not to abuse their position. It is a condition of operating in the EU. In this case Microsoft used their domination of the operating system market in order to gain domination of the web browser market. If Microsoft wants to do business in the EU then it must respect local laws.

look i dont like bill gates and and his stupid power trips, vaccinate kids (which is pretty close to leagl murder and in some casese is)  but at the end of the day this so stupid. its up to the customer. honestly how hard is it to install or change  a new internet browerse. any idiot knows this. and if they dont it means they have no knowdge and just dont care. they say it has to have a choice uhh???the ones who are installing are the ones who know what there doing. i dont even use IE. took me 2 minutes to instal forefox, how fricken hard is that. Why should micorosft give FF a right to be there unless they compensate microsoft. Its like you will never see a Car dealr Exclusive to BMW put in a Mercderes Benz for sale. same thing.
