    Uh, Microsoft got in trouble for making their browser an unremovable part of the operating system, and aggressively trying to force you to use it as a browser. Not remotely accurate to say the problem was just including a web browser. And in the end, they got barely any punishment for it.

      Erm

      The central issue was whether Microsoft was allowed to bundle its IE web browser software with its Windows operating system

      They even had the same shit going on some 15 years later in the EU.

        I don’t care if someone oversimplified it that way in a wikipedia article. That doesn’t make it the full story. Notice the modifier “central” in any case.
