If IE's Windows integration is a monopoly, then I'm all for the removal of Konqueror from KDE.

Integration wasn't the action that defined Microsoft as a monopoly, it was an action performed by Microsoft, a legally recognized monopoly (which is not itself illegal). It's not illegal for a fruit vendor to require you buy an orange every time you buy a banana, as you have a choice to walk to the next vendor - but if your only choice in electricity (thus a local monopoly) suddenly says "if you want our electricity, you have to use our phone services too", and you can prove in court you have no other choice (that they are legally a utility monopoly), then it *is* illegal.

Very simple. The scary thing is that Microsoft's software is, on a very practical level, considered a requirement to do business, and Microsoft is the only source, thus legally qualifying them as a monopoly.
