I added some things to my previous post, not in time before you replied.
About functions, it confirms my points, MS uses its power to bend web neutrality and forcing the use of its browser.

Your extra points... don't really seem to show anything.  You didn't like those other browsers... or word.  So buy differnt versions?

Also, how is putting an autoupdate feature in your browser "violating net nutrality".

You said it yourself.  You can access those updates via other browsers.

You just can't do it automatically... which isn't microsofts duty to enable for any browser that may show up.  It's the makers of the browsers duty to enable such a thing... ironically likely by paying microsoft.

That's synergy, not monopoly.

That's been judged abuse of dominating position, so facts and EU laws and regulation seem to agree with me. And last time I got informations, the vast majority of EU MP's of almost all parties were against SW patents and in favour of megacorporations' power regulation, so MS must live with it if it wants to sell its products here. Unless, obviously, it isn't interested in our money.

And wouldn't making browser makers pay for something that benefits Windows and its safety and stability be asking a little too much?
