That actually makes good business sense.
Think of it. IF the OEM's start bundling firefox, and manipulate the Windows registry so FF becomes the default browser and IE doesn't hijack the position of default browser, the OEM would have to spend less money on customer service (I remember reading that most of the customer service calls these days are spyware related, but I don't have a link).

What do you think?
