I disagree with you when you say the better product survives. Microsoft has made it inconvenient to use other products, many of which are better until they die because they get bullied by MS. MS has made many good decisions in its past which has placed it in a position where it doesn't have to offer a better product initially. In fact, they would rather release a poor product for little money which can gain market share, then sell numerous updates (where they make most of their money) with features they steal or copy from their suffering competitors who try to release the best product they can because it is there only hope of surviving. The key for them is to force their way into a market and force people to use their product. And after 5 years, their product catches up to what was already available. In fact, most people forget what was once available and actually believe MS is providing an original, good product.

Well, I think this plan that MS has is a great way to make a lot of money and if they can continue to do so in this country then they will always have lots of money unless all of the average cows in the herd resist the urge to follow the moos leading them to give Bill Gates their money. And this will never happen, IMO.

P.S. I don't believe anyone has to agree with me on this one. I'm having a lot of fun with this stuff.
