Michael, the power of the defacto standard is the major contribution of Bill Gates to modern commerce. In his book he provided interesting incite into his strategy to provide his BASIC to all OEMs so inexpensively that they wouldn't consider spending any time writing their own software. By being the go-to software supplier he eventually got IBM to adopt his DOS and the rest is history. IOM has persued a similar strategy, using "dream team" chips to cut costs to the point no one else can make a profit in the Zip price range. Bundling Recordit, Buz and C:/More are just more Gatesque maneuvers. There can only be one defacto standard, and it is firstest with the mostest.
