The fear is that PC users will click through these screens and won't bother to then pick one of the five browsers on offer on the browser ballot screen. The ballot offers Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE, and Safari.

What they re doing wrong? Microsoft is forcing Internet Explorer on everyone. This is Opera's survival tactics.

I honestly wanna go burn opera to the ground now
Opera, you build a computer OS, make it stable and get it 70%+ market share then talk

So much hate and anger over something so STUPID. A legal issue that doesn't affect you, and you're raging so hard about it.Opera, you build a computer OS, make it stable and get it 70%+ market share then talk
Irrelevant. Implying that they should put themselves in MS's shoes makes no logical sense. What MS has been doing in the past was deemed illegal due to tying, as I've explained in previous threads. Opera putting themselves in MS's shoes would do nothing to change the current situation.
It's like a rich person telling a poor person to put themselves in the rich person's shoes when it comes to charity. Doing so does nothing to help their current situation.

If you read the article you would see that this is a rare occurrence requiring someone to set IE as the default browser but not go through the configuration menu.
Opera is bitching out of spite and it quite frankly is starting to piss me off.

Thats a poor anology, IMO. I see it more like two people racing, and the one losing is sueing the winner for having a car designed for the track. Correct me if I am wrong![]()
I also dont understand why MS should be sued because the losing company files the law suit. I understand that IE is unbeatable in it's current state, but thats because so many people prefer the convenience of things 'just working' When the ballot screen pops up it's going to be closed without people looking at it anyway.
I do believe the law suit would be reasonable, only if all of the browser companies sue MS together (if that is at all possible, keep in mind my ignorance towards on the subject) but the market share is constantly changing, firefox and chrome are constantly moving up. If they were locked in place then maybe IE could be considered a juggernaut.
Tying was something that benefited people as a whole what was there before tying running to the store to get a browser off a disc? That was inconvenient and forcing that on consumers just so it was fair for those who didn't have those options is an absolutely stupid idea.
