No more windows? (Score 1)

Microsoft claim removing IE will destroy Win2k..

I don't get it...all other software producers around the world have managed to learn how to rely on third party products/components. Aren't Microsoft competent enough to learn this as well..?

For what reason should they have a privilege no other company has (i.e. not having to rely on third party products) - I mean, is it too much to ask that they should only have the same privileges as any other software producing company?
