And even if you really really really wanted a device from an OEM who freely decided to sell them only with Windows, you could still buy it and install whatever you please. So please, don’t tell me you cannot avoid Microsoft.

Hate whomever you please, but if you make that a national or Europe-wide policy, you’re no better than various tyrants of the 20th century.

There’s NO ADVANTAGE for ordinary customers in adding more browsers to the system, only disadvantages. EU is not fighting for “abused” consumers. They’re just trying to get themselves more power.

So you are saying that EU is forcing Microsoft to implement EXTREMELY COSTLY feature, that NOONE CARES ABOUT?

Anyone who cares to, is free to use whathever browser they desire. But most people don’t. They just want to get Windows or Mac OS and browse the internet.

You are esentially proposing a centrally planned economy. Brussels says “users want 5 browsers” (even when they don’t), so MS has to do one (because they have such a “high throne” f*cking kulaks).

And btw, I have “special” hatred toward Microsoft just because they are Microsoft–it is because they are abusing their power and making life miserably for others.
If any other company were to do it, then I would extend this hatred towards them, too. It is only fair that EU smacks them down.

Windows is installed as an image. You cannot add or remove parts without losing upgradeability (individual updates still work, but service packs or upgrades do not). Therefore the IT departments would have to support their own custom-built Windows image, or all of the browsers. The same goes for home users.

You are using a very twisted definition of a “monopoly.” Microsoft certainly has no monopoly, what they have is a dominant position in one specific market. Microsoft is doing the same thing as every other sane OS vendor, but since they are more successful than others, it’s more okay for socialists to fuck with them.

Yeah, MS may be the PITA for you, but hey, you can at least not use their stuff. You can’t so easily escape the undemocratic unjust greeno-communist insanity that EU has become.
