Slapped hard? You're kidding right? The second most valuable company in the US now? The company that didn't get broken up in any way, and still force their monopolistic licensing practices on PC producers and businesses alike? Oh, yeah, that Microsoft.
They had to put a 'browser choice' icon on the desktop - 'oh no, please don't make us put a browser choice icon on the desktop, it will deeestroy us'...... and now they've gone back to forcing Edge onto Windows 10 and you can't remove it. MS got off easy and now they will be laughing about everyone else getting done over and they can pick up a few pieces here and there and make hay once their competitors have been pulled apart.
BTW, Ballmer left MS in 2014 so that is a v.long way after the whole IE 'hard slap'! Anyway, getting shot of Ballmer was the best thing MS ever did (for themselves) - he was driving them into the dirt.
