@supersonic414, people are figuring about other web browsers. Just because some of the population is too uninformed/lazy to know there are other web browsers doesn't mean it is unfair business practice for Microsoft. Case in point: Look at Firefox (they had zero market share a little bit ago and now they have grown quite drastically due to having a good web browser). Once the old population that is usually less computer savvy dies off then web browser market will be pretty damn competitive.

On side note... How does Mozilla or any other company make money from offering web browsers for free? Just wondering..

 

 So they are supposed to ignore the portion of the population with the most expendable cash because they will "die off" soon?    I work for geek squad and trust me the percentage of the population that hasn't "figured it out" yet is quite large.  The best way to do this though, would be to have multiple browsers installed and make the person choose the first time they connect to the internet.
