RE: Another programming standard falls

See, I don't get it. Microsoft bundle a bunch of stuff with their OS, and the anti-MS camp complain about Microsoft's so-called monopoly (or monopolistic practices, which aren't the same thing). And then Microsoft don't bundle some stuff with their OS, and the exact same people start complaining again... about what exactly? You can still download Java onto Windows easily, it's no big deal, what is the problem here?
