[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]They simply make it extremely difficult to remove IE, up to the point where it's almost impossible. Like I said earlier: if I want to use a different set of tires, I should not first have to tune the engine, replace the drivetrain, and stiffen the suspencion.[/i] Totally unanalogous situation. This is NOT an either/or proposition, like tires are. I have BOTH browsers installed, and have no trouble whatsoever. And even if I did, Microsoft STILL has the right to design and sell their own product however they see fit. [i]To ensure fair marketing, and to respect the fundamental rights of customers.[/i] What problems with fair marketing? What fundamental rights are being violated? Please, clarify. If you're capable, that is. I'm beginning to wonder if even you understand your own argument, TEL. [i]Just because it's their product does not mean they can also dictate which third-party programs I may and may not use.[/i] A) Yes, it does. If they want to make their program incompatable with another one, then that's their right, becuase it's THEIR PROGRAM. B) This is irrelevant, because MS hasn't done anything like that since DOS 3.1. [i] Well, gee, maybe that's 'cause the current puppet government places the value of the economy above all else, and MS makes 'm a lot of money each year? I see a conflict of interest.[/i] Your post has no basis. Gates doesn't like Bush all that much, so that's not a factor. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the Bush administration dropped the charges because EVERY court thus far had filed in Microsoft's favor, and all further appeals were sure to go the same way? These lawsuits were a waste of time and money. MY time and money. Thus, they needed to stop. Simple as that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
