[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "When Microsoft insists that their web-browser and no others be installed on any computer using Windows, that's unfair business practice." *screams* THEY DO NO SUCH THING! "I'm not going to waste time DLing another browser if I already have one, and I'm not going to waste money buying another browser if, again, I already have one." Yes! THAT's the complaint Jeff. That no-one will bother downloading another browser if they've already got one. NOT that you can't. "I believe you don't OWN any Microsoft product even if you bought it." Correct. You have a licence to use it. A small but significant difference. "I notice today that most CD-ROM manufactures make their games compatible with Both WIN and MAC)" Er, where? I've seen games available for both Windows and Mac, but I've never seen a commercial game where the same program was compatible on both. "Microsoft has no right to tell computer corporations who sell computer "bundles" what software they can and/or cannot put on those computers. Doing so creates unfair business practice, and inhibits the market." Right. Again, they aren't. They are simply including IE with Windows. If Dell wants to stick Netscape on their PCs, they can (and I think a few companies do). This is like complaining that all PCs come equipped with Notepad. Computer makers should have the choice of what text editor they want to put on their PCs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
