Anti-monopoly laws don't exist to help "the people," anymore.

There is no reason Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to include whatever software it wants. However, the courts around the world are using MS as a cash cow for including a web browser. As if Microsoft were stopping users from installing whatever browser they want...

Competition is good, but the EU is taking it to extremes. Microsoft shouldn't have to fight with an arm tied behind their back.

Now, I doubt any courts will object to MS including software that will clearly help many, many people. But I'm sure Symantec and friends are going to drop a lot of money on lobbyists to make the process painful.
