Remember - MS is a *corporation*. They have *no* reason to change path, unless by doing so they improve *their* bottom line. If they can crush a competitor and spur sales with a "new improved" product that changes course, they will. People keep acting like MS has some moral or ethical obligation to their customers. They don't. That's why they engage in behavior that outsiders find revolting - because said behavior is good for the bottom line. And the only way to change it is to make the behavior bad for the bottom line (either in lost sales when a shop goes Linux, or damages in a lawsuit, whatever...) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
