Well, I'm a regular UFie (that means I read User Friendly on a regular basis, i.e. daily.) and I think the personals site has suffered the slashdot effect. It seems to have mysteriously gone down. It was up a few hours ago (before this article...)
Okay, I'm not an MS pusher, but I just want to know why everyone thinks integration is bad? I use Winblows 98, an I LOVE the bug (oh, wait, it is documented, so I guess it's a feature) that puts a location bar on your desktop (or more correctly, on the task bar.) While I greatly prefer Netscape Navigator over IE, I use the location bar all the time.
I wish one of the X window managers had this! (Specifically if it loaded Netscape.) I still use Win98 for two things, games (I like my flight simulators, and there are no good ones for Linux) and doing work that I can't do without proprietary custom Windows programs.
When I want to use the internet, I use windows if I was already there, or Linux if the computer was off (or in Linux) As bad as most Microsoft products (and ideas) are, I have to admit, web integration is a good thing, not a bad thing.

What about the obvious examples?
Apple, Macintosh (a type of apple), Newton, Windows, Word, Excel, Access, and even Trash Can (owned by Apple.)
Jeez, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody has "Trademark" trademarked.
