Microsoft Has Right to Build Products the Way It Chooses

"In response to eWEEK's Jan. 5 editorial, 'Microsoft Must Move On,' I must say, 'My, you're a fickle bunch of people!'

Since when is it a crime for one company to make products, components and software work together for maximum performance? Sony, Harman Kardon, JVC and other manufacturers have done this sort of thing consistently for some time. Just look at the improved automation and performance one can get by buying all or mostly one brand of electronics.

Saying that Microsoft should not build its own products—Windows Server 2003, SharePoint Portal Server 2003, Exchange 2003 and Office 2003—for maximum performance and interoperability is just plain stupid."
