note that Windows already comes with a web-browser, a text editor, a media player, a chat program & file exchange program, an email client, and a few other programs that other companies would be glad to charge you separately for? do you want Microsoft to strip all of these things out, so that all you have is an operating system? i doubt you'd enjoy it very much.

and MS are not just an OS publisher-- they are a computer software publisher in general. i think you're trying to slant the conversation by accusing MS of "attacking" Macromedia just for introducing their own graphics products. are Macromedia guilty of "attacking" Adobe, who've been around with their web & graphics programs a heck of a lot longer than Macromedia, just for publishing programs that compete with Adobe products?

sure, it's monopolistic for Microsoft to pack free programs in with the OS so that there's no need for third-party ones. but all those other companies have to do is make programs that are SUPERIOR to MS programs-- if they can't do that, then maybe they need to switch gears toward something else. personally i wouldn't mind if Windows came with more high-quality programs integrated-- if MS would do something about plugging the security holes in Outlook once-and-for-all, and if they'd include a decent FTP client instead of trying to make IE double as a crappy FTP browser, i'd be totally happy about that.

Thanks Johnny_B for clearing that up

Other then just defending Micro$oft, name a graphics software that they made that can compete with Adobe Products

your phrasing is confusing.

and that article you put in the first post would've made for an interesting thread, if you actually knew WTF you were talking about instead of going off on some crazy tangent. get back on the prozac already.

If it's an OP system, why are they attacking Macromedia products?  If they want to make an OP system then they should foucs on the OP system instead of adding a graphics tool.

@ SHN
You didn't need to quote me to make the thread longer 

@boywhodoesnothaveaclue
Actually had you thought about your topic before you started it then people wouldnt have had to correct your misleading and incorrect statement about longhorn.

I make the thread longer? You just started a topic not knowing what the hell you were talking about.

Sounds like more of a waste than mine.
