Could you expand on this? Maybe give details as to what Microsoft did?
Did they intentionally throttle speeds on other browsers? Did they change the installation process for other browsers? Did they simply bundle IE with Windows?
Does it matter what they did? They knowingly crippled software just so theirs could be on top. Just as they have done other things in the past, to stay on top, illegally. If they did it once, twice, and probably many more times they can do it again. Remember, they have been caught doing things shadily in the past and now they have to follow rules. Nobody cares if today it seems all peaches, because a company that has crossed the line before will do it again if you let them. It's business, that's all.
[edit] To above, not just age but intelligence. It's like saying a man who's killed can't kill again... I think it's best said that if a man does something to gain wealth he will do that very same thing again if he can. If we could kill, we would, I think the west proved that years ago.
