Yeah I agree. I also look at it like this. I'm a small business owner, and we all want to kill the competition. That's what success is, when you're kicking the competitions ass. Like when Microsoft killed Netscape. That wasn't any evil-doing from MS, that was the beauty of caplitalism. I really hated back in Windows 95 when I had to download a 3rd party browser via FTP just to be able to surf the net. Do you think your grandma could do that? Do you think your grandma knows what an FTP client is? Hell no! And the majority of computer users think just like Grandma. That's the beauty of having Microsoft GIVE you a browser instead of having that crappy peice of shit Netscape had created.
It's kinda like going and buying a car, but finding out it doesn't come with seats. Same for Windows Media player. Fuck 3rd party media players. Fuck REAL Media, those spyware fuckwad fuck-your-computer-to-hell-and-back idiots.
