Oops! Shoot! Damn that 15 minute editing limit! I meant: "Now it is obvious to me..."

Do MS people respond on this thread? If so, can you give me an example?

Is NSCP only a browser software company? If so, can they take this limitation and add new functionality to it to broaden the revenue base? If so, what kind of enhanced functionality can diversify or deepen existing installed base? Since the base is primarily business, is there a captured exploitable submarket whose revenue stream would far exceed add-on levels? What added value functionality within the captured, business market is currently being developed? I await your reply to add to this tableau

Maybe not, but it might give them a defense should DOJ ever bring a tying case.
