Compaq wasn't deleting IE, they were just ruining the Windows Experience by taking the icon off the desktop. Well, then, here's what may be a problem for DOJ: if Compaq never actually tried to remove IE from the machine, how is the fact that Microsoft threatened to cancel their license proof that it conditions granting of the Windows license upon the inclusion of IE on the machine? Putting the IE icon on the desktop of a machine that has IE and keeping IE on the machine are two very different things. On the "integrity and uniformity of the Windows Experience": I don't have a problem with Microsoft trying to maintain the integrity of their products, as a general proposition. Every compnay does it, and every company has the right to do it. Where problems arise for me is when the effort to maintain that integrity crosses the line from legal to illegal, from marketing to illegal monopolization.
