Trust me, as soon as Safari becomes a better browser on the market, Opera will screeaaaaaaam monopoly.
Can you give me an example how stiffing innovation has occurred in this case? Competition i don't care about because that is business.
So if MacOS X with Safari becomes more popular then Windows with IE, should they be also sued? Shouldn't they be sued now so that cannot ever happen? I mean they are selling in Europe, an OS with a Browser bundled together. So as soon as a company becomes too powerful with its products they need to be taken down a notch...so others can have a chance too to become big?...That is what it looks like to me.
I mean seriously, its Business, competition. Google started out with two guys, when there was a "monopoly" of search engines on the market, never heard Google suing anyone back then, became the best, and outrun everybody.
Market share = consumer free willed choice. Sorry that consumers are stupid and not researching things before they buy, or what they use before using them. But that is not M$ fault.
But that is my 2 cents in the bucket:)
Are you serious? Free choice is already there: You don't want Windows, GO GET A MAC OR A LINUX PC... If you don't want IE, uninstall it. Nobody forces your hands to buy a Windows PC, or Windows itself. Get a barebone PC without an OS.
Ohh but wait? Doesn't Apple's MacOS X come with Safari? Hmm, maybe they should be sued as well, I don't see the difference there. They should be forced to provide an awesome little website with all the browsers... But wait, is Firefox bundled up with Linux when you install it? Hmmm, weird...

Well I guess that is true, true "communism" never existed...

Uhh, I lived under communist Romania for 8 years, schooled in it, so please want to say something else?
Opera is lame...
