What for? Apple shoves Safari and iTunes down purchasers throats, Ubuntu comes with Firefox installed!
I still don't get it. Microsoft bundling Microsoft with Microsoft... all companies do that. And there was never any proof that RealPlayer or Netscape was sabatoged on Windows. Should I sue Sony for forcing a ton of Sony Applications and MemoryStick on me when I bought my vaio? They even put a link to the Connect store... How DARE THEY! It so uncompetitive to iTunes or Rhapsody!
LOL... thanx for the name calling. And for the record I don't support Bush. In fact I'm quite liberal. That doesn't mean I am brainwashed into supporting a certain mentality. There are more than 2 kinds of people in this world! The world isn't devided by Democrat vs. Republican.
If your only rebutal is name calling... well that is pretty lame.
What bug crawled up your ass? The guy asked why MS is being punished for bundling software when other companies do similar things, if there's a difference why don't you try explaining that difference instead of resorting to childish name calling?
I find it hard to justify continuing this myself... It served its purpose and allowed other providers to catch up, but now MS is unable to put features in its OS that are a standard part of other operating systems. This whole deal hit a low point for me when MS had to reduce security on vista to ensure that third party antivirus programs could still be run.
If a competitor can build something into the software, MS should be able to as well. Apple, for example, has gone far beyond the original complaint against MS (tying near-monopoly products with other systems so that success in one requires the other), but they have only recently begun to come under scrutiny.

You Sir, are an idiot. As ass of epic proportions. A blind dum dum. Most likely, a Bush supporter too.
that is all.
