Eh, when Microsoft was required to ask you which browser you wanted, they didn't need to offer every browser, just theirs, firefox and Chrome.

This could definitely be collusion, but I don't think that not extending it to all competitiors is what makes it that.

Microsoft didn't make the other browsers pay for the privilege of being a browser though.
