The bundled software is so not the point, and I wonder if BillG deserves credit for manuevering attention in that direction. That whole DOJ trial was just a big pointless dog-and-pony-show, where all the big tech companies got to puff and strut and make a lot of empty noise. It's the unholy grip that Microshaft has on the short hairs of hardware vendors that hoses customers. That's where customer choice has been throttled.

Michael or whoever made the offer and go lots of PR. See we're writing about it on LXer.
