The point is, by bundling everything together, other companies are unable to sell there product.

How many of you are likely to go buy the Pro edition of RealPlayer?

I'm not going to, I already got the 100% free WMP, it came with my Windows XP (altho I don't use WMP, because winamp is much better)

They are cutting out the competition by makeing it so people don't need to make a choice. If you already have something that does the job, why would you go buy another program that does the same thing?

Lets look at one of the utilties that have been with windows as long as I can remember (3.1) The caculator, now, who (accept an idiot, which there is alot of) is going to go download, or even buy, a caculator for their computer? Its already there! So that locks out all forms of "compitition."

If Microsoft sold their WMP and everything else they bundle together with their Windows operating software, there would be no problem.

Thing is you are not forced to use Windows Media. Windows Media is a plug-in developed by MS, so why should they be forced to remove it from being included in their OS'? That is like telling GM that they have to put a Ford engine in their cars.

Mazda used to use Ford engines in their Prot�g�'s...

I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.
