I'm confused  tic swayback | 10/02/06
Nothing illegal, but definitely advantageous  tic swayback | 09/30/06
On that we agree.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/30/06
Another advantage of being in MS' position  tic swayback | 09/30/06
Same as any large company.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/30/06

And Microsoft capitalizes on that.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/30/06
Well...  zkiwi | 09/30/06
Not really...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 10/01/06
