The European Comission: "If the Commission were to find that Microsoft had committed an abuse, the Commission has suggested that consumers should be offered a choice of browser, not that Windows should be supplied without a browser at all."
That's quite a different situation than what MS imply with their response.
- sounddust 17y agoThe article states that Microsoft will make it easy to find and download browsers, which is essentially the same thing as having a choice of browsers. The EC is probably referring to Windows XP N, which didn't include a media player at all, and sort of left users in the dark as to how to play media files using it. I'm sure MS got some criticism from that from the EU and will not repeat the mistake.
