Apple's guilty of the same bundling practices: iChat, QuickTime, iPhoto, iMovie, Safari, etc.

as far as I know, Apple doesn't make their bundle available (much less force them to accept it) to other compter manufacturers. They may bundle to their buyers, but like 97% of the other computer buyers, you don't have to buy it.

Course the other 97% may just have to buy something they don't need or want. Life's hard.

Comparing Apple sales tactics to MS predatory tactics is a bit obscene.

I'm as big a fan as anyone, but saying that my comparison is "obscene" is going way too far.  If your company made one of the applications that is now included free in the operating system, you might think it's unfair, too.  (Personally, I like all of the goodies they include.)

Roger, what about the makers of Watson?  What would they say.
