cheryl---- I agree with your analysis and statements. Windows is the greatest thing to happen to computers and may never be overtaken. The systematic elimination of competition will hurt the entire product in the long run. Without browser competition there is no need for MSFT to make a better product, and concerning browsers they still have a long way to go to be better than NSCP. If not for NSCP what would the quality of IE be today?? It would probably be called ICrap. The competition is what made their products after Windows as they have the OS that nearly everyone uses and must use if compatability with the world is desired. Windows 95 is not perfect and 98 will never be either but only so many $$$ can be made from the OS that is now the standard so other areas must be explored to add revenue and profit -- but MSFT does have the talent and $$$ to invent new needed applications without eliminating competition in an area that should not be used to produce much revenue anyway.
