Windows 2000, both Professional and Server, didn't install IIS by default either. IIS has been "optional" for almost 2 years now.
Maybe not by default, but install something that needs a piece of IIS and in it goes, that goes for getting something from an OEM as well. You can see some programs configure it as they install.
No it does not make me evil. Companies are ammoral and many, many times are immoral. In some instances they actually show some good morals(minority). They should not however have the long term IP and copyright rights that they do now. They also should not have the same rights,and in many cases they have more, than people. Companies that deliberately do things harmful to humanity should be harshly dealt with. The sum of a company is it's staff, holdings, assetts, materials, reputation etc.. If a company is dismantled because of it's very,very,very bad practices and actions. The sum of the company would not just disappear into thin air. Other companies would fill the gaps, buy up the IP that the company had, buy up their holdings and materials, employ its workers.
