Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

FALSE. The consent decree forbids MS from bundling, period, because it's designed to prevent MS from choosing winners and losers.
I still think that that decree is just plain stupid. Other OSes bundle browsers, mail clients etc and so should Microsoft be allowed to do that also. Besides, the whole idea of getting browser ballots (and whatnot in the future, I can almost bet mail client is next) after you've gotten your new PC unpacked is just irritating.

I agree with you, but that's the state of the world right now. Microsoft's competitors are trying to leverage the government to prevent it from being able to compete. But, on the flip side, those same competitors claim that Microsoft has an unfair advantage. So, where's the middle ground?
