Funny how MS makes it sound like they are doing everyone a favor! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Spot on and thanks EU! You've done something that would have been in litigation in the US for YEARS!
MS has the best spin doctors...  |
While I agree with forcing them to be open, the EU also forces ridiculous stuff on microsft. Selling a version without it's own Media Player? WTF? Isn't there a case where they want to force them to discontinue bundling IE with Microsoft? Sure, nobody may like it, but uh, without some sort of client already installed, how are you going to go online to get one you like? Pay for IE? Pay for a boxed copy of Firefox?
