Post by: BouncingAyatollah on 12 April 2004, 23:20
"The country's largest Internet portal, Daum Communications Corp., launched a 10 billion won ($9 million) antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft yesterday, demanding that the U.S. software giant exclude the Windows Messenger software from its Windows XP operating system."

Thumbs up for Korea!
Not that I use XP, but I can't stand how it has MSN Messenger and MSN Explorer in there.

Microsoft of course is gonna claim that they are not violating any laws because its uninstallable. The only problem with that is that there is no option to uninstall it in XP. The only way is to go online and find a long ass command and run it.

Does Antispy remove Messenger?  I don't remember it doing that.  I had to edit this INI file (or something) to get it to show up in Add/Remove Windows Components.
