Those bastards!

Now if all of this sound like something out of an Ayn Rand novel, I would have to agree with you. Let's see if I've got this straight. Microsoft first sells an XP operating system with Media Player included at no charge. Consumers are generally happy with that because they get an already bundled media player at zero out of pocked cost. (They are, of course, perfectly free to delete Microsoft's own media player and/or to download any rival media player.)
