>>>If the key repository of information is the desktop, don't you think that MS will eventually make this a part of Windows? Why do you think Hatch is riding them? They are trying to define OS as we speak. MS will not be able to continue their successful strategy of 'lets just make it part of the OS.' Thats why I put up that Standard Oil deal a while back their strategy was the same deal, 'lets just make it a part of Standard [oil], until they had everything to do with oil in that company.' The techniques they used, free or below market prices to crush a competitor is mirror of MS. They won't let Bill run that long....the once burned, twice shy. MS has a mess on their hands.
