I guess "Ideas that are very very good in some cases just aren’t able to reach their full potential when done by Microsoft" may be a better assessment of the situation many times. --jeremy True.

Jeremy: If only it were so. Many of the people with whom you and I consort would certainly be abject to using a service like this, but Claimspace can and will garner a large list of ensigns who don't care whether it is Microsoft or not. And therein is the rub: sponsored by Microsoft only, Claimspace will effectively be a non-inclusive service, used only by the people who don't view Microsoft as suspect enough to worry about. My hope for the service is that if Microsoft loves Claimspace, they will set it free. --Ted “Ideas that are very very good in some cases just aren’t doable by Microsoft anymore.”
