In my considered opinion Microsoft pulled the "integrity and uniformity of the Windows experience" remark out of its ass as a defensive soundbite. It's bullshit, Sal. Do you think for a minute that your configuration and mine have any uniformity? Does deleting IE or the MSN icon from my machine compromise Windows' integrity? A simple visit to the Control Panel should answer that question. One of Windows' strengths is it's flexibility as a platform...now, all of a sudden, Microsoft is telling us how we must honor their dictates concerning "uniformity and integrity?" What Microsoft is saying that they want to control the desktop...all of it, regardless of the computer-manufacturer's or customer's wishes.
