>> How can you say Bill's wrong How can you say Bill is right? Others continued the analogy with the sugar thing. If William controls sugar supply, Pepsi will go out of business.. You can't beat that You can say anything you want,but most of the people I deal with in and out of business believe MSFT products are inferior. and there is no way of them to continue to survive this way. My opinion is that MSFT is going downhill from here.

<How can you say Bill's wrong, I kinda like the analogy> The only problem with Bill's analogy is that Coca-Cola does not control 90% of the world's soft drink market. <but MSFT is a far superior company> This isn't about MSFT vs NSCP. It's about Microsoft's "seek and destroy" business plan. Navigator is but one example of an "application" that was bundled into the Windows OS. I think you would be hard pressed to make an argument as to why an internet browser needs to be an integral part of a desktop "operating system". If I have no interest in accessing the internet why do I need a browser as part of my OS.
