Opened comments to ask exactly that - not only they bundle the browser with an OS and make it hard to choose another one, that "other one" can only be a skin atop their limited and completely controlled and proprietary engine, if that skin wants to have access to OS install base. It's definitely much worse than Microsoft / IE.
Does anyone have insight into why is Apple excluded from legal scrutiny here?
- scarface74 4y agoThere has never been a case where a manufacture couldn’t have what they wanted on their own hardware. That’s like saying TVs can’t bundle their pen apps and must allow any third party app. There is a gross misunderstanding of what the MS case involved and how little came out of the case.
- colonwqbang 4y ago"Their own hardware" as in the hardware that is owned by the customer who purchased it, or by the manufacturer who sold it? You're writing almost as if you believe the latter.
- scarface74 4y agoTheir own platform I guess would be a better way of putting it. No one is going to say that Nintendo, Microsoft (XBox), Sony, smart TV manufacturers etc what they can and can’t bundle with the operating system they ship with the hardware.
