Might not be M$'s fault... but Bills driving incredibly agressive business practices at microsoft, and many of those practices amount to manuvering to systemically exclude competition from the Wintel universe. I've got a problem with that.

I do not believe that Internet Explorer NEEDED to be bundled with Windows to provide the same level of integration... it was an obvious attempt to provide some cool integrated capabilities without leaving the hooks available for competitors (Navigator) to use.

That is only one of MANY examples... Bill is a brilliant and ruthless businessman and I certainly think he deserves all the success he's achieved. BUT... I think he needs his wings clipped a bit on the anti-competitive behaviors front.
