Nonsens.

You can download the browser of your choice freely from the web. Choose Firebird, if you want. Or Explorer, if you prefer. Or Chrome, if you do not care for privacy. All that is okay with me.

Just that Microsoft is expected to help distributing competing Chrome and Firebird, that is what finds my rejection, since it seems to establiosh a dangerous, unwanted precedent.

I expect supervising authorities to prevent companies establishing monopoles. I do not expect companies to damage themseolves by selling/distributing the products of their rivals.
