You would think with the global economic crisis going on at the moment the EU would have better things to do then pick on Microsoft for offering a browser with their operating system. You don't hear them going after Apple forcing them to package a different browser with OS X besides Safari.
What irks me the most about this situation is that a group of politicians, who most likely aren't very computer literate, have the nerve and the power to sit around and dictate how I could and could not use my computer if I lived in Europe. As a user, if I want to use a different browser then I just download one. I don't need a law passed to give me that option to do so.
And yes, while I understand that there are plenty of users out there that are not as skilled or as proficient with a computer as all of us are, do you really think it is a good idea to confuse those users by giving them a "ballot" screen with a slew of options to choose from?
Isn't there more important things to do in Europe then picking on Microsoft?
