Yes, how dare they make a product, bundle another of their products, and not include a third party program. How unjust. Just what the government should be involved in. Forget the energy crises or the aging national infastructure...Whatever.

Never said the government should have ever gotten involved I think it's hideous that you and I had to pay for that three ring circus. Just think that if it's a matter of "shareware" (which since to my knowledge, no browser company charges, so it fits), then all should be able to access them easily and without having to jump through extra hoops.
And there for a while, MS made it almost as easy to remove IE as it was to kill those annoying AOL pre-installed packages...

Speaking of AOL, I am amazed at the number of people who think they have to browse the net using their browser after you connect. Hmm, I wonder if there is any money to made there? Any lawyers in the house?
