Maybe not — but what about the user who has paid money to purchase the physical hardware?

Does that person, the owner of the computer on which said software runs, get a say about whether or not they wish to purchase and install third-party software that alters the way Windows works? Or is that a matter only for Microsoft to decide by themselves?

They are doing much more than "unfair bundling" to compete against competitors. Microsoft has now taken the technological leap to demand "total loyalty", to expand it's control over the desktop and laptop PC to the point of locking out ALL competitors, and even ALL software providers of third party software. The new technology being promoted by Microsoft make it impossible to install hardware drivers, system softare and libraries, and even 3rd party software, without being "approved" by Microsoft. In effect, Microsoft is defining Linux, Solaris, SCO Unix, FreeBSD, and VMWare to be a "Virus" and will have the ability to "lock out" all of these "viruses". In effect, Microsoft will now have more control that it has ever had before, and more monopoly control than it had prior to the start of the antitrust trial in 1998.
