But the arm-twisting of OEM's is a crucial issue. If MSFT had a superior product that was winning on its own merits, would they have to do this? Most importantly, it shows the destructive potential and lack of ethics possessed by MSFT. As a consumer, this is frightening. I don't have a clue what the answer to it all is. It's likely the Feds don't know, either. -g-

Everyone, please excuse me for the Off-Topic venting!

Some people don't like Microsoft's browser and the new OS/browser integration believe it or not. If you are purchasing a new system, you have NO CHOICE and neither did Compaq. Please don't tell me to buy a MAC or use OS/2.

I would not be opposed to them integrating Office however.
