Not to take this too far off track, but I think the gripe with MS isn't
necessarily 'bundling' but 'hard-wired integration'. Apple bundles
Safari, for instance, bu MS integrates IE directly with the OS, though.
You can't easily uninstall IE.

Looking at this screen reader from Apple, it appears similar. It's an
app that is bundled with OSX that you can install separately, but it
isn't tied directly into the operating system.
