   Microsoft told to unbundle Internet Explorer

   Microsoft's bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows OS breaks EU antitrust rules
   It gave Microsoft eight weeks to respond,Microsoft issued a statement saying, "We are committed to conducting our business in full compliance with European law."
   At the time of the complaint, Opera said it was asking EU regulators to either force Microsoft to market a version of Windows without the browser, or to include other browsers with Windows.
   How you like new Windows with no browser? may be better with Opera & Firefox? no fun if you can not get on the net with on browser?

   Well the EU should do one.

   Opera are only moaning because they don't make as much revenue as they did
   when you had to buy a licence to run their browser.

   M$ should just give you an option to install it if you wish to during installation.

   European Union see M$ as a cash cow.

   It is people that use future windows products that will pay the fine as the cost of M$ wares will increase to cover the loss.

   IE wizard obscures choice?

   Just when it seemed like Microsoft's European anti-trust tangle on browser choice in Windows was over, trouble is stirring again.
