Never under estimate laywers (and people who will will use them for any excuse to sue)
Do to some wording in NAFTA, you could theoreticcaly sell sell plutonium laced baby food, naturally it would be banned and other things, but you could then turn around and sue for lost profits and win. (oh selling from one country to another.
So if Canada banned IE, given ie is integrated in to windows< microsoft could sue for llost future profits and win. Courtsy of the US lawers who created that that loop hole. i can't remeber the wording but it has something to do misapropriation, and its arbitrated outside the courts behind closed doors.
PS i have dialu p given how much i use the interent, and what i use it for i can't justify the expense. So switched from ie to get faster browseing, funny so MS pges download real fast, thier blank.
