Having Microsoft make an operating sstem that can have any other software company just plug in it's software into an embedded option is not viable or good for the consumer. How is Microsoft supposed to create an OS that will work with any browser out there for browsing My Computer for example, without having to worry more about accodating other companies than creating a quality product. Something they already seem to have trouble with. Maybe the answer isn't having microsoft allow anyone to plus into their OS, but to limit what they can code for, and allow for other companies to work with them in the coding process. By say taking them out of the broswer market, and allowing a company like Netscape to comein and creat the browser for the OS.
But that's jsut my opinion I could wrong.
