You said: But just like you can call and have HBO added to your cable channels, you should be able to say "give it to me" and have software at your PC the next day, without the user lifting a finger. That kind of ease of installation would be dangerous for Microsoft. I think what you described is how WavoPhore expects to upgrade its WebTV software. WavoPhore is a Microsoft Partner that is shipping WebTV software in Win98. That kind of upgrade is very welcome at Microsoft. UI for getting upgrades on the web is built into Win98. What is the danger you are talking about?
