This is exactly the point I think much of the main stream media is missing on this whole Microsoft antitrust issue. Everybody wants to focus on what browser people use. What disturbs me is the possibility of: A) Browser is hard wired into the OS B) MS controlled Internet portal hard wired (at least as an initial default) as the browsers startup page C) MS Internet portal favors MS controlled e-commerce sites OK, everybody knows that most of these choices are configurable. What I don't know is what percentage of users know how (or make the effort) to change the defaults. In any case, MS controlling the access to the internet at the ultimate point of entry (the PC desktop) gives all of their other ventures HUGE advantages against their competition.
