Ron Schenone at Lockergnome reports Microsoft declarations on IE unbundling form Windows 7 for Europe (full article at http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2009/06/13/microsofts-explains-european-version-of-windows-7).

Among other things, Ron focuses on “[...] some of the comments.”, and among them there are some reporting Opera request to government to avoid Microsoft monopoly. 

What follows is my comment:

“I think that this Microsoft decision gives more problems than advantages.

I also think that EU decision brings only confusion to the browser’s arena.

For the nth time, in order to protect interests of a minority (means opera and other small browsers), majority will have problem and disadvantages.

It’s not a problem of unbundling IE, it’s the problem of bringing real choices to consumers that counts.”
