Re: More embracing from MS...

You had to twist a little there to get the E/E/E concept to fit.

- Hmm, just at the 'extinguish', I felt it was just a little tenuous, but the extinguish has always been about less competition (preferably none) = more Windows licence sales, so I think it's valid.

Yes, E/E/E has been used too much, as has M$ and all the other slurs, but they started with justification. Certainly normal business practice involves getting your product the in the best position, but I shouldn't have to remind anyone here that Microsoft are on record as having abused their position like a runner shoving competitors off the track.

They might be under less 'chair flinging' management today, but it's too soon to expect a total reversal in it's company mindset.
