Jeff,

How Polaroid compare to Microsoft's behavior where they are providing new function for zero price?

If I may? ---

In Polaroid's case, they are not using their dominant position to keep competition out. They were 'granted' their monopoly via the courts. Microsoft has constantly worked to limit the market share any competition may have. They do so, by what appears to be, by any means they can get away with.

I come from a software engineering background. And IMHO, the browser front end they wish to incorporate into the OS is the major problem. They can probably justify putting in the underlying connectivity to the internet as a part of the OS. What most people think of as the browser is the GUI that they see. They do not really think of the underlying technology of HTPP, etc.

Not to nay say what has been said, just perhaps a different view point.

Regards,
dmg
