OK, I don't recall that personally. Some components of Windows (eg Windows Update) used IE, but I have no recollection of any version of Windows ever not allowing you to change the default browser. I've used non-IE browsers on Windows really ever since the web came about.

But yes, what they really got in trouble for was bundling, trying to build a browser/media player monopoly on the back of their OS monopoly.

Sure. Microsoft could reasonably be defined as a monopoly, given that they have 90%+ of the PC consumer market. Amazon are not, and never have been, in a monopoly position.
