iCompetition Freak ...

With hardware restricting competition by not allowing other software to be run on it, I think its time we reassess our competition law strategy. Its very akin to Windows coming preloaded with Internet Explorer and Windows not supporting any other office suite other than MS Office!!! Composite embedded software and appliances utilizing such platforms should now be checked as they have grown beyond cellphones into smart-phones and now have evolved into cell-pads (iPhone into iPad). The Adam is a more competitive and acceptable equivalent to this evolutionary chain.

Hey buddy!
I completely agree with your views but some additions:
1) Most Windows users now run Firefox as their browser of choice
2) Open Office runs great on Windows although feature wise, MS Office 2007 is still ahead (specifically in spreadsheet and presentation apps; word processors are almost similar)
