Name one that's pre-loaded by default on intel-based architecture.  Name
one vendor that's pressured OEMs to bundle their browser instead of
another.  Read the Findings of Fact, then get back to me.  If you have not
read the Findings of Fact, and do not, then you've no business even
bothering to waste my time.

You don't understand computing.  Undocumented APIs (Application Programming
Interfaces) were used by Microsoft to enforce the dominance of their own
software at the direct expense of their competitors.  Once again, read the
Findings of Fact.

You'll note I've not bothered commenting on your pointless attempts at
insult.  You're not worth my time.
