MS does NOT do integration
Or rather they over do it. Oracle integrates famously with a wide variety of applications, yet maintains a sepeeration that is healthy. Mozilla integrates with Windows rather well, as does Open Office and a number of others. There are a number of products that provide great integration unless you rewrite the dictionary to mean that "a product must be irretrievably welded into systems that could easily be seperate and provide the same funtionality" to be considered integrated.
