Microsoft, Feds Revise Settlement Agreement

Times have changed since the case.

As I see things now [typing this in XP], the case is now backwards.

Before it was using Windows to get users to switch to Internet Explorer. Now the case has turned 180 degrees.

When I use any Microsoft app, from Money to Encarta... I can't help to notice all rely on IE. The problem is, you can't use IE very well without Windows.

Congratulations XP owners... you paid ~$200 for Internet Explorer and .net applications.

Windows is the "bundleware".

OK, whoever just modded the parent post a troll was a moron. Please reply and try to defend your position (which you just implicitly took) that my idea is tacitly unreasonable.

Why should the government give billions of dollars a year to a known monopolist (who is singularly unrecalcitrant), thereby further entrenching the monopolist and discouraging competitors?

That is the untenable position, in my view.

Denver is a pit anyhow, I don't see why anyone would want to live there. God, I hate that place.
