I don't see the issue with including a suite of software with an operating system. After all, that's pretty much what an operating system is. OSX does it, the mainstream Linux distributions do it, the major Aros distributions do it, MorphOS does it... Don't like it? Don't buy it. There are free alternatives.

If anything, Microsoft and the computer manufacturers they deal with should be sued for the ****ty OEM contracts they all agree to, and for even suggesting the idea of "secure boot". You should worry about that, not petty browser wars or god damn RealPlayer.

Even the Xbox 360 CPU is a real pi$$take. Incompetent corrupt American courts should have broken their back but those tax dollars were too valuable to the deficit.
Not sure why you think courts should be spending tax money arguing about the technical merits of game consoles.

COURTS FINALLY SETTLE: THE MEGADRIVE DOESN'T USE BLAST PROCESSING AFTER ALL.
EXTRA! EXTRA! THE PLAYSTATION EMOTION ENGINE IS JUST A WAY TO MARKET GAMES
