M$ doesn't bundle IE with Windows. It was an integral part of Windows. You 
proved it yourself. Let's not confuse things here.

This whole thread started with the assertion that M$ "embrace" of open 
source was part of the "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy which has 
bene in their playbook for years. It seems pretty obvious nowe that this 
IS the case. The other issues you raise may seem interesting, but 
irrelevant to the original issue.

God bless!
