dear bb,

besides investing, I start tech companies.

you said:

THUS stifling other companies that may be able to specialize in a section of software and do a much better job than msft.

Oh?

With a team of programmers in India, we developed Internet videoconferencing software -- damn good stuff.

But because Microsoft was (and still is) giving away "NetMeeting" for free...we couldn't get financing to bring the product to market.

Now, two years later, NetMeeting still doesn't have the frame rate or video quality that WE achieved in a beta release...but...we got nuked by Microsoft.

How many stories are like this? Many.

Thanks for the great post...one of many great posts, bb.

Best,

Doug
