What a LIAR
No_Ax,
You say you're a software developer. Microsoft has historically set sites on a particular market and taken it over by bundling with windows. What will you do if or when they set sites on your market. Then we'll hear you crying about how they've wronged you. I don't know that its fair or legal to let Microsoft bundle as they do. Smarter folks that I will have to figure that out. Personally I don't think you're one of them.
