I agree. But it's still a separate issue, and therefore separate kinds of fruits. Losing the browser trial did not force MS to stop their OS bundling.
Quite frankly I think the browser trial was a mistake because of its too narrow scope. It should have been about any kind of bundling.
And it should not just have been against MS, but against anyone who forcefully bundles any SW with any HW. Though I'm not sure if that's even legally possible.
