It'll be missing proper compliance with Web standards and introduce more de facto ones like XAML. The EC investigates this.

If they shipped their OS with FF, that means they'd want some control over FF. That's not going to happen.I'm glad that some new computer sellers are automatically installing FF though. My new laptop came with FF installed by the guy selling it for instance, which I really appreciated. I only use IE for the rare stupid site that requires it, and I only bother going to those sites if I really need what's on that site.

Microsoft is a convicted monopoly. It's illegal for them to leverage their monopoly in one market to gain advantage in another. iTunes isn't a monopoly any more than Walmart is, so they can leverage all they want. They're big and they suck, but that's not illegal.

They'd just fork it, and call it "Internet Explorer". It's open source.They can do pretty much anything they want except close the source. They'd make their tweaks, merge with upstream when needed and have a great browser, with the user being none the wiser.
