Opera lashes out over Microsoft's browser removal
"The situation is even more precarious for those upgrading existing
machines to Windows 7. In that case they get a PC with no browser at
all. Microsoft will make lots of CDs that will give users IE 8 if
they want, but Opera and rivals have no easy way to get on those
machines, short of following Microsoft's approach."
or this one

"Microsoft will donate meals to a food bank for each person that
downloads IE 8 via a special "Browser for the Better" Web site.
Technically, the company is donating $1.15 per completed download, up
to a maximum of $1 million."
Looks to me like more of the same. They continue to use their ill-
gotten gains to crush competition.
