What in the world are they thinking??
That they haven't made enough money off us yet, and are scared of Google beating them to that ad market?

When you you have billions of people at your mercy, why not?

If the DOJ and the EU can't fight Microsoft worth a damn, what chance do we have?

It'll likely be written into the EULA for a future Windows version...that most people won't read anyway, and so they won't have an avenue to complain.
