Saying MS is monopolistic for this Live feature is like Airbus saying to Boeing, you can't make fighter jets because we don't make fighter jets even though we make airplanes.
All MS is doing is taking what they are good at, software, and making it available in different wrappers. It would ONLY be monopolistic if MS blocked Sony or Nintendo from installing a chat program, or making cellphone OS's, which Sony or Nintendo won't do for a while if ever.
Remember, the reason we all enjoy FREE web browsers is because MS started giving them away free, or else we'd all be yelling at Netscape.
