Roger, the point is that Integration of the browser and OS is a very natural thing to do (considering that the internet the major use of computer time) to add value/functionality for users.
Wouldn't you be upset if you had to buy a bare-bones OS. Then buy a GUI to sit on top of it. But wait, you'll also need stuff like Scandisk, a Defragmenter, notepad, Dial-Up-Networking, etc., etc. Although it's much bigger than the above (except perhaps a GUI), an integrated browser should be considered to be just another feature, IMO.
Also: Earlier, you said how obvious it is that what Microsoft is doing is illegal. Instead of arguing with you, let me just say this: If it were so "obvious," then the DOJ/FTC would have already made their ruling. So obviously, it's not as "obvious" as you think (perhaps, wish). |
