This is an excellent distinction to make. Can you tell me what is not a Utilitarian function? If that can be determined you might be able to get MSFT to agree to it and draw a line in the sand.

I think MSFT believes all functions can be put into the OS, Word Processing, Drawing, Spreadsheets, etc.

What will stop them from adding everything? I draw the line this way, I can run a computer without a browser, but I can't run it without the I/O and memory mgt functions of the OS.

Thanks,
bps
