Earlier in this post you mentioned the Apollo project and I think that's a great thing to mention in this context. Because it's a matter of infinite resources versus practical resources. What you'd probably get from Microsoft is a relabeled <insert name of top program here>, they'd just buy one. If they didn't do that, they'd end up with something similar to what everyone else had, but it would take them a while to make it good. They might even ship something that wasn't as strong as your typical program, because the top programs are written by very experienced and devoted people over a long period of time. bruce
