Totally missed that. A little exaggerated, wasn't it? I've always thought the integration with the OS was the problem with IE. Not that they provide a browser bundled with the OS. What OS does not come with a browser installed? Things would be complicated if you didn't have a browser handy right away after installation.

A little exaggerated, wasn't it? Quite a bit. QUOTE I've always thought the integration with the OS was the problem with IE. Didn't MS use that as a legal excuse somehow? Then people found out that you could run multiple IE versions on the same Windows installation, and that MS was lying, IIRC. QUOTE Not that they provide a browser bundled with the OS. What OS does not come with a browser installed? Things would be complicated if you didn't have a browser handy right away after installation. Compare this with Chromebook, where I believe almost everything is done in Google's cloud through the Chrome browser. Google should be forced to offer multiple vendors' cloud solutions, browsers and search engines on a new Chromebook, including Apple's and Microsoft's, and with Google's own not being the default. |
