Will Adobe Scream 'Anti-Competitive' in the Face of a Microsoft Attack?

But the EU did not force them to drop pepperoni from the menu, only to let the customers choose if they want pepperoni or not. And it did not make the customers have to go elsewhere, they did not forbid anyone to install these programs from Microsoft. The point was to make installation of these programs optional.

When you buy a new car you can usually choose which CD player you want inside. From the EU perspective, if the car producer also makes CD players, they must allow the customers to choose if they want their player or another one, from another producer. We may like it or hate it, but that is the EU competition law.
