[QUOTE]Originally posted by My Publically Displayed Name: [QB] That was not Jeff's question. He asked why MS [i]should[/i] have the power to draw up these extremely restrictive contracts in the first place. A browser is not an integral part of an OS [b]([/b]although it has become exactly that - it has been so deeply integrated into the recent versions of Windows it's virtually impossible to remove the program[b])[/b], and if I want to install another, that is [i]my[/i] decision to make. Sure, MS is free to include IE in the package, but it is most definitely [b]NOT[/b] free to decide what other software [b]([/b]in this case, a browser[b])[/b] should run under Windows. It's akin to Ford stating "we deny any and all garages/customers the right to replace the Goodyear tires on our motor vehicles with Firestone ones. If you still wish to do so, you are required to change the engine and drivetrain as well." [/QB][/QUOTE]
