Microsoft UK said that it will "comply fully with the ruling" but added that it expected most PC vendors to voluntarily continue bundling IE with Windows 95 PCs.

"Most PC makers want IE because that's what users want," said a spokesman. "Microsoft can no longer make PC vendors install IE but it's a preliminary ruling at this stage. PC makers are free as they always have been to install another browser."

The firm also stressed that PCs already in the channel will not be affected by the ruling.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
