As if Microsoft did not have enough trouble with the law Europera because it considers the fact unfair competition include a media player with its operating system (Media Player Windnows) (remember that Microsoft has already paid more than $ 600 million in fines ), now the commission Europera load again, this time the problem seems to be of the same nature, is accused Microsoft of abusing its dominant position by the inclusion of Internet Explorer in its default operating system, thus preventing a way that other alternatives may come more clearly to the end user.

    2. It seems perfect. Microsoft should get out of W7 and IE8 make it part of Live!. With the Windows media the same. That then put on the desktop if you intend it to someone but that is optional

    4. It's simple. Microsoft is profiting financially from the sale of their products. Linux does not. If you think RedHat, OpenSuse or many other companies make money with the software I must say that it is not. Major Linux make money with YOUR work, not the software itself. Part of this is shown by the fact that ALL software that accompanies any distribution is free in the sense of not paying for, and often free.
    So what is the difference? The difference is that MS charges money for its software that takes implicitly x programs that, according to the European Commission, prevent other commercial or not, have the potential to be implemented or at least naturally. Well, my opinion is that certain European companies are now practicing the same game as other Americans, with the sole purpose of making money, whether they have more or less correct in his claim. Tell me, if it would be much more multable or illegal that force you to pay a Windows license when you buy, such as a laptop. It's like going to buy a car and force you to buy directly from the gasoline in the concesionaro, that clear, as the car is going to walk out of gas ...
