From the article:
Microsoft's relations with the EU executive have been tense since 2004, when the EU found that the company had abused its market leader position by tying Windows Media Player to the Windows software package.
But Microsoft broke its 2009 pledge and was fined 561 million euros by the EU Commission on March 6 for failing to offer users a choice of web browser.
I'm no Microsoft fanboi, but, let's put it this way - I develop my own operating system, I develop my own browser, I develop my own media player. And I decide to bundle it/promote it along with an operating system I DESIGNED and DEVELOPED. What the fuck seems to be the problem with that?
I'm not limiting your ability in anyway - You can still install any other browser/media player you like and you can remove the ones I've provided too, just like any other..
Come on dudes, if I don't have the freedom to bundle MY software the way I like, then how is it fair? It's like saying I can't bundle a headphone for an Mp3 player I manufactured and the user should buy what he/she wants.
If I got something wrong here, please enlighten me..
