A lot of people use MSFT products just because MSFT programs come on the computer when they buy them.

I am using MSFT spreadsheets for that reason. Before I bought this Dell computer last January, I had been using a SoftKey spreadsheet for three years. It was a lot better IMO.

I looked in local software stores and couldn't find the SoftKey program, so I just started using the MSFT one. After all, it was bought and paid for.

" I bet you use the Msft internet browser, I do, probably because there is no better product out there"

I must respectfully disagree.

I have rigorously tested both IE and Netscape Communicator, and I prefer Netscape hands down, even when using it with Mickeysoft's Win 95 OS!!

From coast to coast and around the world people have voted with their dollars and have chosen Msft. That is what a market is all about.

And what, in your opinion, will take away the people's right from "voting" so if Microsoft is split into an OS company, an applications software company and an internet software company?

Dipy.
