Y'know, way back in the mists of time, when only a few thousand people were predicted ever to need a computer and no brand of computer could relate to any other brand of computer, Microsoft broke the mould with its attitude towards compatibility and 'universal' access.

Now they are retracing their steps back down the path towards individual systems which won't interract with anybody else's individual system I wonder if this is a result of the whole monopoly issue? Given that they are not going to be allowed to singlehandedly control that universal access, they are abandoning the concept entirely.
