i am not sure if i like this.

i see a monopoly here

i won't need to buy a firewall now that it will be included in windows.

I hope that Microsoft will release a stripped down desktop operating system and allow us the chance to try other products out and keep this economy growing.

remember when we had dos and were able to try tons of crappy programs? What if it gets to the point where we can only use 1 crappy program and tons of incompatible old programs?

i am glad they are coming out with this much needed service update but this reminds me of the verdict where the judge order M$ to supply computers to schools... This is a marketers dream.
Start the kids young and make them dependent on the Microsoft code.

A better judgment is for the schools to teach oracle sun and linux in the school and leave Microsoft software for the games.......
