Whos next in the firing line, Microsoft is a successful business who are now being penalised for being just that.
I really cant see stripping down a OS to remove unfair advantages working very well, as a consumer i will still purchase the all in one, and then maybe purchase additional software if i did not like what i got, either way i have both then.
I dont see veritas complaining about ntbackup
And as to whether 3rd party products will work any better on a windows box because they have more code access remains to be seen, i would be confident in saying that they could also make a windows box worse.
