Monopoly over free web browsers? I didn't think that mattered. All browsers leads to the same internet and they're all free. MS isn't restricting anyone from downloading firefox or any other browser. I don't see why a company should be forced to bundle different company's web browsers with its own OS. The option to use the other broswers are already exists.
I think this case is ridiculous. That said, MS is gonna lose. EU has an agenda against MS. Look at the last case the EU had against MS where the argument was over the included windows media player in the OS because real player couldn't compete (wtf?, who even wants or uses real player?).
