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.

Fixing something is not the same thing as changing a preference.

I know how to try on different shoes to find the one I like. Its really no different when it comes to trying out different browsers and no company should be forced to offer a competitors software just because. Anyone can go to Google.com (you know the largest used search engine in world) and get Chrome or use it to get a different browser of any flavor.

Quit with the sensationalist examples. The fact is anyone can very easily install a new browser and make it their default. MS removed the locks and built-in IE features that almost made that impossible to do.

Win95 and 98 had issues with using other browsers and especially making one a default over IE. That is no longer the case. Hell, IE is almost no longer the dominate browser anymore.

Its over. MS changed. MS paid the price. This regulation is bullshit and shouldn't exist. MS should be allowed to have its defaults and the only issue is if its actively blocking the usage of a competitor. Which it isn't. Hell we've had three major versions of Windows without any restrictions on replacing almost any part of Windows applications like Office, Media, or IE.

Yeah, ok, I'm with you buddy. ;)
