Mainly, because I choose to use Google, or choose to use Microsoft, or indeed choose to use [insert my favourite search engine/software provider here].

I have no quibble with Virgin offering a search service, and/or browser software, provided that I have a choice to use it (and my choice is respected).

It is not fine for them to impose their search service, or software, over my existing choice because they want to strip some traffic away from [insert my favourite search engine/software provider here].

See the difference?
