You have a HUGE blind spot. I see that in your eyes anything MS wants to do is double plus good. MS entering a market with free goods can easily destroy the market. There is a history of MS doing this. The problem is not with the free goods, it is with the destruction of the market. That is why there are laws about this. Pulling free goods from an established product is not in itself a problem. The writer listed a bunch of useless programs that MS should pull if it was really trimming for the reasons it claimed. I see the programs MS is pulling as being selected strategically to herd its customers. I suspect there are laws against this too. One more example... My shooting a gun is not a problem. My shooting the gun while pointing it at you is a problem, because you will end up dead. The problem is not the gun shooting, it is you becomming dead. That is why there are laws about this. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
