    I thought this all started because MS where shipping Windows Media Player with XP?

    I think it was WMP and IE?

    They produced a WMPless Euro version, for what it's worth. Hardly a significantly de-monopolising move.

    I can't remember how it got on to server stuff.

    pft pointless on one forces you to buy MS products but o well. And to think that they might have even used the money for something worth while.

    Well, you practically are seeing as it is bundled with most new PCs. I would think the vast majority of customers do not know you can get Windows removed and refunded.
