In all that time MS has offered a browser along with their own OS which is what the EU is squaking over to begin with and not looking at the simple fact that MS is providing the courtesy of including a browser with their own product even if you would rather use something else. But what the EU also forget is just how many new softwares companies have been started up simply because most often which OS do you find running on any desktop?
MS grew big from the start by first offering a GUI(Graphical User Interface) to an otherwise dos screen using the keyboard commands to start and run programming as well as prewritten programs. Success #1! Early start once the internet was opened up at the end of the Cold War? Success #2! Worldwide used OS? Success story #3!
"someone" didn't like that! With the huge successes one corporation had the EU couldn't accept that the same would "include" various things like a browser and media player in the MS operating system instead of allowing some other company to be the dominant factor there by being the one and only browser company where MS would have to go through them.
Instead MS simply kept growing and growing and offering even more options as well as included features. At least MS has taken it upon themselves to make IE an option you can remove if you choose to do so in favor of another browser as well as coming up with a separate form of Windows to appease the EU to obviously no avail by the looks of things.
