Part of me almost feels the EU owes Microsoft an apology for the amount of private time, people and money Windows N and the browser ballot stuff took up in the XP days, given how much they were forced to invest in certain efforts that so utterly failed to change anything about the status quo. Chrome didn't need a browser ballot to defeat IE. Almost no one bought or shipped the N versions of Windows. Spotify, iTunes et al still managed to come around just fine despite that pesky default install of Windows Media Player!
