Opera and Firefox fresh out of the box

Well, if I were Microsoft I would not want to advertise other peoples wares. Just think, if you were, say, a motor manufacturer and you issued a brochure, it would be about your own cars, wouldn't it? You would hardly say, well, take a look at the latest Fords, they're pretty good and so are Lexus and Toyota. But we hope you will come back and buy one of ours. Similarly, your dealer network would not be encouraged to draw a prospective customer's attention to another manufacturer.
