PC makers and Microsoft squabble over desktop icons

Article Abstract:

Microsoft Corp. claims it will give computer makers more freedom to place services of its rivals on its Windows XP operating systems but the leniency is pretty rigid. For example, if a computer maker wants to display the icon for AOL's Internet browser on Windows XP, it must also include three other icons for Microsoft products and/or services.
