Mozilla has defeated Microsoft’s default browser protections in Windows
As I was reading this article I kept thinking to myself &quot;Microsoft is going to boot Firefox from Windows&quot; before realizing that MS doesn&#x27;t have that sort of power (compared to say Apple).<p>It&#x27;s really interesting how MS will approach this. Unlike Apple, MS doesn&#x27;t have direct control over which apps go on the operating system, they aren&#x27;t even in a position like Google where their app store is the dominant platform for getting apps.<p>This will be interesting, interesting to see how MS responds. Will they give in and let users easily set their default browser or will this turn into a cat and mouse game.<p>Lastly I think what MS is doing with the default browser is foolish. Did they learn nothing from the antitrust cases of the 2000&#x27;s
