so what exactly is the EU worried about
The main focus of the EU case(s) for the last few years has been getting Media Player out of Windows. Are you joking? A company can't have one of its products bundled with another one of its products? Why does a machine with Media Player prevent users from using other media platforms? How is eliminating Media Player going to make anything better? Users still have to download the other players just like they can if Media Player is part of Windows. Give me a break. Learn to use "dat der puter" and stop hating MS just because they make money! Hmm what tools does Mac OS have pre loaded? A whole bunch is the answer ... but it is ok for them right? Guess what MS haters ... Steve Jobs is also rich and so is Apple. I guess we can hate Apple then ... oh wait the Linux vendors have done pretty well over the last few years. Darn! Well Google ... oh wait they are also rich! darn will someone just start coding a piece of crud in their garage so us MS haters can claim it is the best things since sliced bread ... at least until that garage start up starts making money ... then we can hate them.
