Even if it means pushing out more crap they get bad reviews too. As long as it's profitable, they'll do it. And I don't see Apple picking up too many of the pieces if MS does manage to drop the ball. I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. If they’re still aiming for money as much as I’d believe they are, they’d never ditch a market they still have an overwhelming market share in.

Either way Microsoft looses. If it's a Microsoft video, well, they're just showing off that their coders can copy and paste and eliminate copyright. If it's someone's wish list then it shows how bad the Windows operating environment has gotten. If I was going to dream big for Windows, it wouldn't be FTP bloatware. I've read "reports" that post Windows 7 Microsoft will no longer focus on their operating systems and focus on their software offerings. I doubt that's true, but if Windows 7 is anything like Vista, they might not have a choice.
