wiredFINANCE: Windows 7: Is It Right for You?

The reason why the Live apps exist in the first place is because of the Anti-Trust lawsuits. You only need to go back a couple of weeks for stories about them having to remove an Internet browser from their OS (an absurd idea, who doesn't expect a modern OS to include a web browser??), and they've had to separate out Media Player too, as well as introduce all those "Default Programs and Settings" options. Why would they include something that’s likely going to provoke another lawsuit, when its just really pretty simple to bundle everything into a Live apps installer (which they have) and include Start Menu icons linking to this bundle for every app that’s available (which they do)? And frankly, Windows Mail goes the way of Internet Explorer for me, so not having to actually install it in the first place would be nice.
