Consumer Inertia, the New Economy and EU Competition Law by Vladimir Bastidas Venegas

“…This may cause problems for the application of traditional antitrust doctrines, such as tying or other forms of leveraging, which normally have been applied to products and services offered at a price. As illustrated by the Microsoft I decision (Windows Media Player), it is not self-evident that the bundling of an application with an operating system results in coercion, the pressure to consume the “tied” product, if consumers have a de facto possibility to download competing products for free. …”
