Microsoft was never “punished” in the US for bundling IE. They were given a slap on the wrist for forcing OEMs to pay for Windows licenses even when they shipped PCs without Windows. Do you notice that at no time before or after the DOJ case there was never a time that MS stopped bundling IE with Windows?
