sure, when a company introduces a new product, its called competition. when microsoft introduces a new product, its called "forced lock-in".

microsoft has every right to introduce new products in any market segment they see fit. if you don't like it, don't use it.

you ms bashers. go educate yourself.

microsoft has been fined billions of dollars for doing just this, creating a product without proper documentation so they can bully others. educate yourself, start with the WordPerfect lawsuit.

"for doing just this". Wrong. Try again. This is unrelated to bundling and monopolistic practices. Maybe you shoulde do the rest of us a favor and change your name to something we can all live by, "shootmyself".
