From this article:
"In internal AOL documents, the media giant lays out a strategy that calls on manufacturers to build into their new personal computers icons, pop-up notices and other consumer messages aimed at pushing aside Microsoft by giving AOL's products prominent placement on PCs."
Microsoft's response:
" 'AOL's actions are unprecedented and completely anti-consumer,' said Microsoft spokesman Vivek Varma. 'AOL is paying [computer makers] to eliminate consumer choice, forcing people to select the most expensive service in the industry.' "
'unprecedented and completely anti-consumer'!
*loud thud as Chava falls off into the floor laughing hysterically*
