Where do you think the first lawcase will come from? I'm betting from Google for MS embedding a desktop search engine that will effectively makes Google's useless. Netscape anyone?
Haha, yeah, I put up a blog post about that sort of thing. Linux can embed pretty much whatever they like, as can Apple. But not M$, Windows can get sued for having a native media player - didn't someone sue them for Movie Maker as well?
_Hopefully_, those kind of lawsuits will die out against the age old virtue of common sense, but I doubt it.
I will however be sitting on my hands regarding Vista until plenty of others have given me a very good reason for needing to upgrade - XP just happens to do everything I want of it, at home and work, so apart from bells and whistles I can happily do without using why change?
