Remember when the gubment threatened to break up Microsoft into two companies: an operating system company and an application company? Remember one of the stated reasons for it being that Microsoft had the audacity, the audacity I tell you, to package a free web browser (IE) with the OS (Windows)?

It's ridiculous to think about getting a device of any size today (desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone) with only an OS but no web browser. LOL

To: Tell It Right

They only threatened that because Microsoft wasn’t donating to democrat politicians. Once the $ started flowing Janet Reno backed off. It was nothing but a grift.
