The users will be left to decide "Should I use the free software, or wait for an upgrade to become available and then shell out the bucks?". Hmm, I wonder how their air supply is holding out. Real evidence of a harmed consumer here. I guess that companies ought to sit idly still and static, in a dynamic industry. Talk and belief about regression is where consumer harm lays. Cordially, Gary

"The new Windows Millenium is designed to do a "netscape" on Corel" Poor consumers - now they get something else for free. If other software is better, people will still buy it. Just like they all used Netscape until IE got better, even though IE was in the OS. You're facts are incorrect. Windows ME supports TWAIN and I use it for my digital camera and scanner under Windows ME. I think it's funny that you complain about this OS that no one HAS to buy, just because it includes more useful things that will save people money unless they choose to buy alternatives from other companies.
