MS & Anti Trust Stunts!

Well, MS is fighting again against the European Commission on Anti Trust issue. Why should Windows strip itself off Windows Media Player - So that users can have a choice between different players? Who has the rights to decide what goes in a product? I guess MS has all the rights to preinstall & send Windows Media Player with its Windows. If, such restrictions & constraints as stated by the Anti Trust cases are added, then any company can fall into such a category - where they can't build their own products according to their choice.

But, as the issue states, WMP should be given as a choice. So, when a PC or NoteBook is bought, WMP should be one of the choices to be selected in the configuration so that its users' discretion to have WMP or not. But, its always good to check the add on softwares MS is going to include with its Windows OS, because that shouldn't ruin the other businesses, who don't have a choice but to rely on Windows.

With the Europe case still on this week, its high time to start thinking about Vista. That OS is going to come with in built Search Options (Big G & Y!, are you listening? Scared of losing some market?). MS Office is going to work more closer with the OS than the present times (Big G! Your online word document writer may not be useful.). Security is getting the highest attention (Who knows the whole Anti Virus, Adware, Spyware Market may lose their business).

So, who is going to check Vista before it gets public? Are other companies arranging a Watch Dog?
