Instead of Solitaire, consider Quicken (which you call an application in your posting); suppose Microsoft decided to deal with Quicken once and for all and made Money an "integrated" part of Windows 2000. What would stop them?

While I agree with some of your points I think you're off base here. There is no logical claim that Money Management is a function of the operating system. However, a logical claim can be made that a Web Browser is a function of the operating system as a Web Browser is merely the next logical extension of a File Browser.
