Microsoft has been a blight on the industry.

I say this as someone who spent his professional life developing software for both Windows and big iron.

Microsoft has claimed in the past that its browser is integrated into windows for technical reasons and can not be separated. Every other OS in the world can apparently separate their os from the browser but them. Its bull****.

They should be fined. They should be shut down for their constant attempts to stop anyone else from competing with them. They truly are the "evil software empire" that richard stallman and others warned against, making software that controls the user rather than the user controlling the software.


Apple aren't too far behind.
