  I enjoyed reading one of the emails in the trial transcripts where an
  Microsoft exec said that they had to bundle IE with Windows in order =
to
  leverage the marketshare of Windows and push IE on to the consumers.

  I also enjoyed the early comments about Microsoft supporting early =
versions
  of IE because they were "technically superior".  Once IE had the =
majority
  marketshare, that reason was turned around to supporting IE because it =
had
  majority marketshare.
