  @ Random_Walk: Err, this isn't "monopolistic abuse", and there isn't any monpoly... a monopoly is a market in which there are many "buyers" but only one "seller", and, last time I checked, there were (free) Web browsers for Microsoft Windows beyond Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer (or this ballot screen wouldn't make any sense).
  
  @ G-Skaf: Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer is developed by Microsoft. No one is free to "medal" with the decisions a company makes regarding their own products. And in this case or any other, apart the immediate disadvantage to consumers, Microsoft's IE losing a significant percentage of market share doesn't benefit any consumer. Hopefully, this will finally make people stop whining about Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer just because it is developed by Microsoft and it's the world's most popular Web browser, and understand that Microsoft has been improving it in terms of standards compliance for years and whether they continue to do that or not is only up to them, it's their product, they do whatever they want with it.

• I agree with the title: this is a matter of antitrust, as IMO only in such a scenario would a comission go as far as actually make a company advertize competing products in one of their products, when anyone can freely install and use any of these products whenver and wherever they want.

• What I meant with my comments was, given, unlike Macs, Windows PCs can be built by the end user, a considerable amount of Windows PC users probably doesn't research these desktop PCs at all, but rather parts for them (just a guess). In reply to: "Top 10 most popular desktops of 2009"

• IMO 2 interesting things to note in this "top 10 most popular desktops" are 1) no desktops from the world market leader (HP) and 2) 4 desktops from a company that barely has 5 % of market share (Apple). In reply to: "Top 10 most popular desktops of 2009"

• IMO that helps explain 4 Macs in a "top 10 most popular desktops", when the actual ratio in market share terms is less than 1 Mac for each 10 Windows PCs. In reply to: "Top 10 most popular desktops of 2009"

• As csoccer1 hinted, you forgot those who simply don't want to build their own (be it due to personal preference, support/time/warranty reasons, or anything else). In reply to: "Top 10 most popular desktops of 2009"
