100 % stupid.
Microsoft can't secure it's own OS in EU, because AV-companies will loose money???
AV-companies exist only because Microsoft created an insecure OS. Now if they want make it better they can't. That's illigal.
And what about IE7, and Windows Media Player. My mother will never understand how to use alternatives.
They just make it more difficult for the avarage user.
If EU wins this case, no one is going to buy Windows Vista, 'cos it will then only be Windows XP with new icons.
I agree that Microsoft should make IE7, WMP and other stuff completelly unistallable, but not if it hits the end user.
EU is just bored. No one is buying Windows N because, why should they? Microsoft has just wasted money.
If EU want to make something good, they aks MS for adding one of those things in Add or Remove Programs that could be called "install additional Windows components.
Thats all what I need.
