Unbundle IE in Europe? Why stop there? 

,----[ Quote ]
| My interest here isn't in what Microsoft and the EU agree to as an 
| appropriate remedy for Microsoft's market dominance in web browsers or past 
| legal transgressions. My interest is in ensuring an increase in the global 
| competition in operating system platforms. In short, unbundle IE in Europe? 
| Why stop there? Why not unbundle the whole of Windows from all OEM PCs 
| shipped in Europe?

EU Is Said to Ask PC Makers About Microsoft Influence (Update2)

,----[ Quote ]
| The European Commission in Brussels sent questionnaires to PC makers asking
| about their communications with Microsoft, according to two people who have
| seen the queries and declined to be identified because the document is
| confidential.
|
| The commission in January filed a complaint accusing Microsoft of possibly
| harming consumer choice and product innovation by including the Internet
| Explorer browser with its Windows operating system. Microsoft may be forced
| to disable some software code and offer PC users a choice of browsers when
| setting up a new PC on a so-called “ballot screen,” the company said in a
| U.S. regulatory filing on Jan. 18.
