Last week, news got out that Microsoft had been charged with breaking competition laws by the European Commission. The EU stated that Microsoft has broken competition laws because it bundles its Internet Explorer browser with Windows, which gives the browser an unfair advantage over competing browsers such as Firefox and Opera. OSNews readers debated this topic lively, and it seems we can use this story to continue the discussion: Opera Software's CEO Jon von Tetzchner joined in on the fun.

You do NOT need a "browser" to download applications. Maybe they could use wget it has a gui frontend for windows and they ship it with the unix utils for win anyway or curl or a million other ways it would be a gui front end with GRAPHICAL pictures (thats what the G stands for lol) with the browsers icon and short synopsis you click it or a check a box and click DOWNLOAD and there it is on your desktop
