I posted this comment to the oracle (http://www.lockergnome.com/theoracle/author/theoracle/) article on EU decision on browsers (full article at http://www.lockergnome.com/theoracle/2009/05/31/the-european-union-decision-might-be-stupid-but-heart-minds-are-in-the-right-place/).
I agree on what you say: it’s by making people aware of options and not by transforming Microsoft life into a nightmare that competition can be made effectively.
On the other side I think that a system is a system. Everyone should have the option to customize it, but, in my opinion, this doesn’t mean that every option should be bundled within OS.
