Isn't any default option by definition a choice that has been made for the end user. I'm really trying to figure out Microsoft's angle on this. I've never once known them to pull a move that didn't in one harebrained way or another promote their products to the exclusion of others. Seeing them act as a watchdog for the consumer has me very confused. Can't believe it but I agree with Microsoft and there's simultaneously a major player in the apache project apparently being puppeted by the interests of large web tracking corporate interests. Welcome to bizarro world.
