That would be a matter of opinion
Not really, a company with the initials MS in your neighbourhood of Seattle was forced by the European Union to NOT set-up IE as the default browser. They made sure the novice user understood they had a choice. The reason that Wladimir Palant did this was very simple, MONEY. At the time he first did this he was heavily criticized in many forums and blogs. In the realm of politics it is called "pay-to-play". In this case it might be described as a simple "bribe" as many of his detractors described it at the time.
