I'm grateful that the EU always comes out with rulings that are so unreasonable. I'd hate to see them suggest someting more reasonable that MS would agree to (i.e. How about selling multiple versions of the same phone but preloaded with different internet browsers?).
Imagine having to not only choose a phone but at the time of purchase "pick" the browser you want included (yuch). Oh and by the way, if you select any product other than PIE you'll forfeit any OS upgrades for that phone since I doubt any company is going to take the time to build multiple OS copies for each phone...
By the way, aren't some of the hardware manufacturers already providing phones in the marketplace without PIE? I recall Sony Ericson and HTC have both done it so...
Either way, MS will need a few more lawyers and we'll need to pay more for each copy of Windows 7 when it finally comes out.
Just what we need in a bad economy, higher costs for our toys
