Now, tell me if I have misinterpreted what I read, but Microsoft just got slapped with a $613 fine by the EU because it includes Media Player as part of windows?
And they even acknowledge that it doesnt cost extra, and doesnt even need to be used, but supposedly MS is trying to muscle its way in because it offers free software as oart of it's os?
Does that mean if you bought a Mac and they included media software, they could fine Apple?
It seems completly absurd to me, and i really cannot comprehend how in hell they get away with charges like this. Its like saying that Hondas have radios, and you cannot buy a honda without a radio, so they are using unfair business practices. Now, you could choose not to use the radio, or even replace ti with one you already have, but they are going to get fined anyway.
Please tell me i am missing som ehuge, big-picture detail here that makes this bullshit make sense.
