I don't see how it's anticompetitive to do so - i mean, what competition? (and I can't see the comparison with bundling IE) I'm pretty sure MS has invested a lot in creating a pricing schedule for Vista that suits their business perfectly? Again, I'm no expert there, but that's my 2c :) Aah... ideologies... RodeoClown said:

Remember when they had to unbundle IE... I know they've wanted to make their IDE free for a long while (the more people who have it, the more stuff gets made for MS operating systems). Now they've released their 'express' versions, which are a bit cut-down; they can claim that it's to make it easier to start programming (which it is), but people tend to stick with what they know. So when these developers who have made a start using the free tools start developing 'for real' (I know that's an arbitrary distinction, but you know what I mean), they'll use continue to use MS tools - which definitely benefits MS.

On the idea of giving something away for free to make money from secondary sales... do you reckon Microsoft will eventually make their OS free? They seem to be gearing towards that... and Ubuntu just keeps getting better :) Wow, that’s a pretty bold move on Etienne’s part!

I’ll more than likely buy it myself – partly to support the artists, and partly because I want a copy of my very own.

It’s pretty good :)
