First it was "Microsoft feared"  Now it's "Bill Gates feared"

Now your just so carried away that you aren't even paying attention
to what your writing.  "leverage windows to kill IE?"

The root key issue that your so hung up on was a single example cited
by me in a response to Chuck Robey's statement that Microsoft is "giving
away" IE.  Go back and re-read it.  Notice that I DID NOT say in that post
that this was the ONLY way that Microsoft makes money of IE.  It is you
that has somehow jumped to the conclusion that I was asserting this is
the ONLY way Microsoft makes money off IE.  There's plenty other ways.
