The key word here, I think, is "could". MS offers plenty of free
stuff that
doesn't dominate the PC world (see: Outlook Express, Windows Backup,
Windows
Defender, compressed folders, ...). There's no reason to think that
this
will, either.
I'll not disagree with your points except to say that IE did, and
likely still does pretty much dominate the Windows world as far as
browsers are concerned. I personally have no problems with any free
applications, even if they are not the best for the job at hand.
