I don't see how any of these scenarios violate patent or copyright law, so I guess you would condone them. I'm not saying Microsoft has ever done any of these things, but I want you to accept the possibility that there are other laws that are germane, and not just patent and copyright laws. I contend that the anti-trust laws are among such other laws.

Sure, they do have the right to put any of those things in their software, as long as they tell you the product has those "features" and is going to do it. Would anyone buy it? Of course not - but they could still make it.

I understand your point, as much as you twisted mine completely out of context. My point is, putting something in your software that competes with someone else shouldn't be a crime.
