So Microsoft have been fined for bundling MediaPlayer and ie with Windows over the years. What is the difference with mac sticking quicktime and I-tunes on their machines?
I've no axe to grind with either, but it does seem a little like hair splitting. If Microsoft actually made the components would that make any differnece?

the reasoning isn't just because they bundled it, it's because they were using their monopolistic power to make it the only option (for the average consumer really)
you can bundle software, but i guess if you have 95% of the market share, you hold responsibility to make it a fair fight. kinda like the playground bully only fighting with one hand. (sorta)
