Bobby, your arguments are wrong. If the OS needs certain functionality to improve it, this functionality needs to be added to the OS - like Browser, Speech recognition etc. You simply cannot leave the implementation of such technology to other software manufacturers in the hope that all your customers will buy that functionality from other software vendors. E.g. you would be forcing every blind person to first find the vendor and then buy text-to-speech technology just because Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to "own" this little jewel in your model. This is unfair to Microsoft. Sounds socialistic to me. The OS vendor, in this case Microsoft, has a good idea of how his OS should interact with a standard text-to-speech API and would implement the API and interface it with the OS and ship with it. IT MUST THEN PUBLISH the API so that this specialized vendor of yours can make sure that his specialized software can replace Microsoft's "Crummy" implementation. In the case of the browser, this is possible. You have NO CASE.
