I still fail to see how IE installed ever caused me any or anyone problems, was not forced to use it even in early days. I have always been able to download and use any available browser of my choice even when using win 3.1,win 95 ,win 98 ,winXp etc.. the fact that IE is also installed did not interfere with the other browser suppliers. So I still do not see the basis of this injunction. Everyone seems to be saying that you could only have IE if bought windows, which is not true. It would have been nicer to be able to uninstall IE to save disc space but it was not a big competition issue as MS was never stopping anyone from installing any browser they wanted.

What they did stop you from doing, was removing IE from your system without seriously [LIFTED] it up.

I noted that but as I said I found no problems with having it installed as I did not have to use it for browsing as I could use any other browser available. So still cannot see where they were stopping competition as could use any browser I wanted. Next they will say MS can't supply windows explorer as stopping me using any other explorer like system

Have you actually read the EU judgement? I haven't, and I'm not going to pass comment as I also have no intention of reading it.

As long as I don't have to install IE, I'm happy with this ballot system.
