Absolutely correct. They do have the right to do that. As does everyone else. Except others didn't think of it first - MS did. If Sun had integrated a browser into Solaris or Apple into OS8 (or Rhapsody), people would be carrying them through the streets on their shoulders.

No, actually, Apple did integrate the browser into the OS. Microsoft started this idea after Apple had already released its browser, so its pretty clear they didn't think of it.
