IMO all OS makers, not just Microsoft, should be forced to provide a bare-bones version: enough to run processes, install programs, edit text files, connect to the internet and basic drivers. They can also provide a more feature-full version, if they want, and/or third parties such as computer stores can provide their own versions with value-added software. That would leave the choice to the consumer, a tech-savvy person (or a big company) can buy the bare-bones version for a lower price and install their own choice of programs, other users can buy the version that has software that suits their needs best.

Anyways, i think EU didn't go far enough, they should outlaw IE for misleading advertising. Its support of CSS is just awful. :D
