There is that. There is a lot of other things that put them in the bad monopoly category. * Using secret API calls to make sure their software ran faster than the competition. If you had a database server or spreadsheet application you could had a myriad of choices in the early 90s but the fastest, stablest one was always from Microsoft. * OEMs could not change the default browser. Even when given money to install an alternative the default OOB browser was required to be IE. Early Macs had no browser at all and at <5% of the PC universe they had no monopoly status. Before Safari Apple used MSIE as the first browser. Firefox and Webkit weren't ported over until ~2005. And long before the Apple App store the only application on iOS1 and 2 was the browser. It didn't have apps as we know it today. It would be hard to prevent them from including the browser since it shipped with the device day 1.
