Question
![Regulators in the European Union have charged Microsoft with illegally tying Internet Explorer (IE) to
Windows and mandated that a version of Windows be offered stripped of IE. A news report suggested
that when Microsoft launches Windows 7, it will charge a higher price for the IE-stripped version than
the price for a full version that includes IE. Microsoft denied this report but announced that it would offer
the full version of Windows 7 at a lower upgrade price.
