The question then is, what would you, or Opera, have Microsoft do? Should they include Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and perhaps other browsers with Windows? That would require a not inconsiderable amount of work on Microsoft's part. I think it's unreasonable to require a company to facilitate the installation and use of a competitor's product.

Enable the use of other browsers, certainly, just as they do now. There is absolutely no barrier to installing and using another browser on Windows. All you need to do is obtain it. If Windows 7 has no browser in Europe, and these other companies want people to use their browsers, then why don't they offer to send customers a CD in the mail, or make it available in software stores, such as in a display at the check out stand? They can't afford to do that? Oh well. So I guess Microsoft has to subsidize their competitors, right?
