Marketing free stuff

I suppose the question is, how do you market something that's free?

By making it compulsory?? Here in the European Union measures are contemplated against Microsoft abuse of its monopoly. One is to force Microsoft to include other media players. Why not require it to include other browsers. For that matter, why not require PC manufacturers to have another partition on the PCs they sell with some Unix/Linux on it. After all, they support Microsoft's monopoly by including only that OS, so meaures against them should be considered too. Currently, they take away the hassle of installing Windows. My suggestion would take away the hassle of installing, say, Linux too. It comes with a browser, OpenOffice etc. so people would know there is more than just IE and Office.
