[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "But why should Microsoft have the power to require that any company which installs Microsoft on its computer also not install any competitor's browser?" For fucks sake Jeff, listen! Nowhere is it said that you can't install another browser. If you want to go and install Netscape, do it! The complaint is that Windows comes preinstalled with IE, not that you can't use another browser.# Again, as I've said it twice, and people aren't getting it. The complaint is that by packaging IE with Windows, it's making people less likely to look at the competition. An anaolgy: If Word came built into Windows, Lotus could complain that it's taking away sales from Wordpro. However, Microsoft (in this case), is not stopping you from installing Wordpro. It's simply supplying Word to you with the OS. Again: There is nothing stopping you from installing another Web browser on your system. And again: For fucks sake, go and install Netscape and stop bitching. If IE didn't come free with Windows, you'd all be complaining about having to BUY your web-browser. Tsk, can't please some people, can you? [/QB][/QUOTE]
