Opera Software, the makers of Opera internet browser, is convincing EU commissioners that Microsoft is bad, bad again because they put IE together with Windows. I am not a big M$ fan and I do consider IE to be one of the worst browsers. But what Opera Software demands from EU is sick. They just asked to have Microsoft not remove IE from Windows, but rather package it together with other browsers to give them competitive edge. Are those guys sick or what?
Maybe every maker of calculator, every maker of text editor and every maker of clock software should have right to include their piece of work together with Windows? Why not... just free distribution for everyone because Microsoft will have to pay for it.
Opera Software do not realize that they sell a commercial product and they should be able to compete with others the same way as shoemakers do compete with each other. Recently I have bough a mobile phone and I got a free pair of slippers with it. Should Nike or Ecco shoemakers sue my phone dealer because he did not bundle demo version of their shoes together with my phone?

Or maybe I am wrong? Maybe Opera Software wants to deliver a free fully functional version of their browser to all users of Windows?
