actually, they did. did you miss the 200 or so lawsuits over the last 5 years or something? what do you think their 2 settlements are about? because they wanna give up their marketshare for the fuck of it? can't afford the lawyers? its the same concept as the old railroad monopoly, microsoft laid the "tracks" with the operating system. what is illegal isn't so much including the browser, but threatening vendors if they provide alternatives, making it impossible to seperate from the OS, etc. anyway its pointless to regurgitate any of that its all been rehashed so many times just surprized there are people who still aren't aware of it.
