<The issue is that MSFT has inside info that allows them to create a product based on insider knowledge of the operating system. NSCP doesn't even have source. Not only does MSFT have source, but if they need the OS to do something new that will allow the browser to do something they feel will enhance their position, they can modify the OS at browser install time. That's an unfair advantage.>

NSCP has(had?) the same advantage. Don't you remember Javascript and the J-Script attempt at reverse engineering. It is not an "unfair" advantage if they are writing to thier OWN products. Why create a proprietary product if you are going to give away your secrets. Every hear of patents, intellectual property, and trade secrets? Where are the capitalists?
