| Microsoft was successfully forced to unbundle IE? |

| Not really? In the US it kept being bundled by default, they just made it possible to disable the front end; the MSHTML rendering engine was unremovable. |

| ▲ | ceejayoz an hour ago | parent [-] | | It doesn't even exist any more, and they were required to open up APIs to third-party browser makers. We'd be worse off without the settlement. | | |
| ▲ | brainwad an hour ago | parent [-] | | They just renamed it to Edge when they rebooted the UI. It's still a bundled browser, indeed the bundling is more aggressive than ever. | | |
| ▲ | ceejayoz an hour ago | parent [-] | | Edge is Chromium. Their competitor's engine. | | |
| ▲ | brainwad 30 minutes ago | parent [-] | | It is now, but it initially did use Trident. I was on the IE team when Edge launched. | | |
| ▲ | ceejayoz 19 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Does "Microsoft now bundles Google's browser engine" really scream "won the browser wars" to you? Do you not think the settlement requiring APIs be opened up helped enable Chrome at all? |
