IEFan, you’re missing the main point here: Microsofts (virtual) monopoly when it comes to OS-esses.

Will Mozilla require Apple to also bundle Firefox in Mac oS X?

Is it not good enough that users can remove IE? To be completely fair, every browser available, including ones that need GTK or Qt to work (Konqueror), software with web browsing as a secondary or tetiary feature (emacs), text mode only browsers (Lynx), and alpha level software (Hv3). All of the examples I posted are available for Windows, so why should they get left out?

They shouldn’t bundle NetScape, since it’s a dead project. And I think that if the smaller browsers want to be listed, they should be. It’s only fair.
I would give preference to open-source projects, though, as those are more reliable.

This is really interesting stuff. I really hope something like this happens. Just hope Microsoft can’t get out of it by producing a Windows light, without IE but the same price. (As they did with Windows Media Player.)
