Yes, it is kind of silly. It isn't like we've never had third-party drivers and applications run on an OS, and in fact, that's one of the main functions of an OS. Windows nor Apple need to be or feel responsible for supporting anything they don't want to. And as long as there are third party vendors to supply the Blu-ray support, there's no point in arguing whether any OS should adopt BD support.

They'll probably have one of their magic wizards to guide you through a download of IE8, which I think is what they're actually supposed to do. I seem to remember a legal dispute many years ago between MS and Netscape and the outcome was that MS could not ship their IE browser with Windows -- it had something to do with fair competition but I can't be too sure, as it was several years ago.
Nevertheless, I like the points you made Coaster.
