Now ther's an over-simplification and a piece of pure unadulterated CRAP if I ever saw one :)

Does IE "generate a profit"? Does .NET "generate a profit"?

Most companies, and especially those the size of MS, recognize that they do have OBLIGATIONS to existing users (which, by the way, extends far far beyond the developer population).

Go play in the .NET forum, John. Your words will undoubtedly be very welcomed THERE.
