Browser? Who cares? The issue is that IE is part of Outlook Express (why does an email client need Web bookmarks?), and Windows Explorer. So what you ask? If spyware etc corrupts of screws explorer.exe or iexplorer.exe, windows won't appear and nothing will work right. IE adds more security flaws than anything.
MS makes a contract that numb nuts like Dell and HP sign that states OEMs can't add any software similiar to what MS makes on the PC. Thus, we get stuck with Windows. Want Linux? Only available on servers? Want no OS? Hard to get at times. Best thing to do is make your own PC or have someone else make it for you and don't support OEMs that offer no choice.
According to rumor (RUMOR), a friend of mine said he seen a piece on Fox News that Microsoft is now sueing people that switch from WIndows to Linux.
Again, RUMOR and nothing more. I can't find anything about on any news site so it's a rumor...I hope.

OK. Give us some evidence like Web page or copy of letter. Not to duobt too much but I believe in evidence before jumping to conclusions.

I didn't finsih reading the article but since Bush dropping the "tie-in" charges, MS must have made large donations that year.
