This is the biggest and highest stakes game for the future of the free internet as we know it. Oh, the drama! It'd be like your electric utility saying every home within our operating territory will have a mandatory installation, at no charge to the consumer, an electric hot water heater, furnace & heatpump. Nobody would ever allow that....would they? Uh, why wouldn't I want that? Free equipment? I there some reason I wouldn't want free equipment? <nonsensical ranting deleted> Your arguments are absurd. You don't have a choice of OS? Why not? Do you live in communist China or something? Mac, Linux, OS/2, Solaris, etc. What are those? where does that browser point on startup? MS. Where does Netscape browser point on start-up? Netscape. Please defend your position on this. MS has the right to do anything they want. If they want to sell you a product that links diretly to their homepage, THEY CAN!. It's called capitalism - look into it. If you don't like their products - DON'T BUY THEM!!! Stop telling me what I want as a consumer and let me decide - not you, not the goverment.
