Complaint to the European Commission

[jglw]

Again, Microsoft is being accused of stifiling competition by releasing IE with it's OS. Maybe I'm turning over two pages at once, but wouldn't it more stifiling to not release it? How am I supposed to download an alternate browser if I don't have a browser already?

Good one!

The European Commission is a bunch of power crazy tossers who are absolutely out of control and tax robbing SOBs to boot.

If Microsoft weren't trying to stifle competition, it wouldn't be changing the OS every 3 or 4 years.

These changes make software developers have to start over on the software they sell.

More like, keeps them in a job. Zing!

And makes consumers pay through the nose just to keep what they already have.

More like, keeps them in a job. Zing!

Make-work is never economically feasible. It is a huge drain on the economy. We are in such a drain right now, because of the forced change to HDTV.
