Is MSFT able to replace a good add-on with an OK integrated version just because it is free? Yes, they have. A number of these companies are having trouble and the smaller ones are out of business because of this. MSFT was going to 'crush' the Citrix winframe market by buying the key technology and incorporating it into Hydra. Only problem was. it is hard to do a good job even when they bought a lot of the pieces. Citrix is still doing fine, hydra is still not a product. Citrix is doing ok only because they were able to force Microsoft to license their technology. Just because one company survived their practices does not mean their practices are not wrong. If I point to a number of companies thath ave not survived, you won't buy that as evidence that their practices are wrong, now, will you? Dragonfly
