"So will their next attacks on apple and google"

I think you are completely off base here.

Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google and Steve Jobs of Apple - and the vast majority of the employees of each of these companies - were strong supporters and MAJOR FINANCIAL BACKERS of THE OBAMA.

Apple and Google OWN The Obama.

At most, the DOJ will conduct a phony investigation of these companies before announcing that they are squeaky clean and perfect corporate citizens.

The browser issue was initiated by Opera, a European company that had a good browser when Firefox was in its infancy. For some reason, Firefox and Safari grew in marketshare taking it away from IE but Opera stayed in the dumps. Now we have Chrome in the fray too.

I personally think that the competitive market is working in browsers. But you have one small player that doesn't like the results in a competitive market.

Anyone can go and download any browser that they want to. IE gets preinstalled - yeah, so what? You want something else? You have plenty of choices. You can even build your own if you know how to. There are hundreds if not thousands of browsers. I put out some of my own. I don't expect Microsoft to preinstall mine on all Windows systems.
