Hello Arachnids -
My comments:
As a result of the recent Micro$oft anti-trust suit, I came to understand
that it is a violation of the laws governing fair competitive practices
for one to intentionally program an operating system for the express purpose
of making it incompatible with a competitor's software. I don't know how
they can get away with this.
