I read an article that stated the EU may request Microsoft to supply alternatives to the applications that they provide for free in the OS (the browser being a prime example). Even to the point of allowing it to be installed from media.
Other rulings have already forced Microsoft to allow alternative browsers and e-mail clients (to the point where an application can register as one of these types). I think that is enough, they should not disallow a competing application from running or having access to the APIs the internally developed application has (that was always a bone of contention, some of it unfortunate, some maybe intentional advantage protection).
