My biggest gripe about this is that they force Microsoft to advertise other browsers (just plain wrong to force someone to advertise for the competition), and are forced to provide information on how their OS works (forced to give away trade secrets). Both of these set bad precedents, when a small company tries to make its way into the market and then cries like a baby to the European Union. I don't have a problem with the EU saying that bundling IE is wrong, but how they want to handle it is wrong.
Honestly, if I was Microsoft, I would completely remove the web browser and not offer any version from anyone. It would screw the customer over, and then Microsoft could then just give their software away free on a CD in the stores. People would just pick it up anyway as the stores would train their employees to give away the discs (after Microsoft payed them off
).
