MS Anti Trust

I read somewhere that Win7 is going to be required to include Firefox and Google Chrome browsers in addition to IE8 as stated by that whole anti trust thing years ago. Does this strike anyone as not "right"?

Let me give an example of the same thing but for let's say a car manafacturer and that would be to tell Chevrolet that they had to include a Ford and a Honda radio in the trunk in case you would prefer to use one of those instead of the one that came with it. Another example would be to tell Intel that one of cores in it's I7 CPU must be an AMD core. Telling Dunkin Donuts that 10% of the sprinkles on their Donuts must be half Krispy Kream and the other half Donut Connections's sprinkles.

I could go on and on but this is government overstepping their boundaries once again.

I’m not sure that’s the case. These browsers aren’t usually installed on Windows machines. Users have the ability to download them if they want, correct?

Cheers,

That is normally the case but they are in court talks now which has to do with requiring them to include Firefox and Google Chrome with Win7. This just makes absolutely no sense and this has been going on for years but somehow Vista dodged this bullet.
