I think you need more options.
I think it's a brilliant move on Microsoft's part. But I wouldn't be
surprised to see the EU reject it. I think they want to force MS to install
other browsers (one who's name shall not be mentioned) and were using
tying as an excuse to do it (why else would they take this up 10 years
after the US government did?).
