@monkbent It is amazing to me MSFT never supported this. Also amazing to me they never made something like iLife.
@BenBajarin yes they did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live_Essentials …
MSFT can’t bundle them with a new computer because of anti-trust
@monkbent If I recall those weren’t any good in reality. Also wonder if that Anti-trust issue still is a problem today?
@BenBajarin they were under a consent decree until 2011.
@monkbent So conceptually they can offer bundled software now.
@BenBajarin theoretically. But even just this year they got investigated: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/mozilla-and-google-accuse-microsoft-of-unfair-browser-competition/4995 …
Also, still under supervision in Europe
@monkbent yes Europe is an issue. Surprised they haven’t attacked Apple more.. Yet.
@BenBajarin believe me, there is no surprise there. Hands are completely tied and will be for effectively forever
@monkbent I mean in regards to Apple. I’ve always thought that was coming but they haven’t been as tough on them as MS.
@BenBajarin oh, I see. But Apple doesn’t have a monopoly. There is no crime if there is no monopoly
