I'm speculating now but I think they were required to provide competing browsers in an attempt to level out the unfair advantage they got earlier. Also, I don't think it was a "mistake", I mean, c'mon now.

But most of all, I'm not too fond of the "if you don't know how things work, you're not allowed to use it" argument. Do you know and care about how your toilet works?

Yes. I always repair my own home and car. Or at least youtube it to see if I can do it.

Point really was that its too simple to be an issue that needs litigation and fines. MS has already paid for and fixed their monopolistic issues. Its time to move on.

I think you're deliberately missing my point. Do you seriously think that you should know how to fix everything to be allowed to use it?

Obviously, MS did not move on since they decided to screw the consumers once again.
