A lot of ignorance being thrown around in this thread. M$ is reaping what it sowed.
They deserve every fine they get. At least the EU has some balls unlike the current US administration that is bought and paid for.

 

 So if IE wasnt free with Windows how would you get the alternatives? I have never seen Firefox in any PC's shops round my way. So how would you download them?

So M$ cant sell their own product and give away free another product?

I guess all those companies who have ever done Buy one Get One Free are guilty of whatever you say.

 

netscape used to be bundled with MS OSs, they could just bundle, every mac comes with safari and opera, used to come with safari, opera and IE.

they could bundle opera or safari with xp/vista/7

They could, but then Mac could still bundle IE.

From a business position if M$ were to include Safari or Opera, they would have every right to charge those companies to do so. At least some of the profit for every version. Its swings and roundabouts. I still put forward to you. EU is complaining about a free product that M$ provide, with their own product. I saw Hob Nob biscuits for Buy one get one free yesterday. I hope the EU sue Mcvities to.
