> The concept floundered, but programmers note that Google could easily pick up the ball. Already, its Gmail free e-mail system gives users 100 megabytes of storage space on a remote network — providing consumers a virtual hard drive.

Consumers are free to try whatever they wish to use! It’s not as if people are forced to use MS products, nor are they forced to stay with them. Monopolies rule 😛 :nat: ---
