Microsoft and the EU

I think some people have their definitions mixed up.
A monoply exists when one company owns EVERYTHING, not when there's competition.
Maintiaining a monoply consists of that company buying out the competition.
If Microsoft bought out Apple, GNU, BSD and all those other OS then perhaps there would be a case.

But in the case of the EU, people are just lazy; They want to get a peice of the pie without having to work for it.
People will do anything to promote their product regardless of how crap it is.
If I like your player i'll use it, hence why I have Winamp installed but not the POS that is Quicktime or one of those Realmedia players.

Adding in your own software to your OS is a smart buisness move, not maintaining a damn Monoply, if you want to have your player included then design your own OS.
