I Do understand. Your example may be different from mine, but they both work under the premise that "nothing is free."

Microsoft is using some of the profits from other items to produce and distribute Internet Explorer. Hence, when I pay money for a Microsoft product, a little bit of my money goes to pay for Internet Explorer. Thus Internet Explorer is not really "free", even though Microsoft says it is.
