If i was part of microsoft i would up the cost of windows 7 if they dont use IE as the default claiming a loss of revenue due to loss in ads.
this isn't a debate about microsoft and about OS and browsers, this is a debate about capitalism. I feel that if people really had a problem with the way microsoft was going they would do something about it, such as buy something else, use something else. It is a free market and government on all levels should stay out of it. If a company gets to big something will happen in the open market to bring them back down (EA). As much as people would love for companys to all be fair and a fun loving play ground its not. These companys are out there to make money and if they stop innovating, they start releasing crap, and people still continue to buy it then it is our own fault.
To tell a company that their OS can not come with only their browser would be like telling apple that they need to ship all Ipods with zune software also because too many people use Itunes....
Free and open market is a good one government needs to stay out.

That's an almost religious position, based on the dogma that the market is always capable of regulating itself in a way that is best for the community that governments represent.
In actual reality though this dogma is disproven, and governments have the responsibility to control the market in the interest of the community.
Now, on the amount and kinds of intervention, we can all discuss...

The only intervention from the governement in the terms of business is none... everything that has to do with government and business the government fails at... (this is from a US government view).
What do you mean by the community tho? Are we talking about the common folk or the rich or the poor or the businesses themselves?
