<Now, it may be perceived as MSFT willing to give the consumer the shaft because they can't get their way with the courts.>

These comments don't add up.

1.)MSFT never failed to give the end user or the OEMs a choice in which browser they used.

2.) MSFT never failed to offer the end user or the OEM the most current software as a contingent of using thier software exlcusively.

3.) MSFT has historically and currently offered the least expensive software.

4.) Lower prices are GOOD for consumers and do not engender the ideals of anti-trust.

Knowing the above to be true, any consumer who is paying attention would have no problems at all with MSFT's behavior. The only one's who would have a problem are the one's that were a.) prejudiced to begin with, or b.) allowing themselves to be educated by the sensationalist media in lieu of pursuing the facts as they stood.
