I'm not trying to create a value judgement of Microsoft producing such a product. I'm just trying to point out that I believe that there can be a tremendous (not necessarily the majority, but a large) market for such a product and that Microsoft has the brand recognition and clout to carry it out.

Most people don't know what's inside a computer or could much care. All they want to know is if it works. The target audience might even believe that the Cyrix chip is a special Microsoft chip that might work better than Intel.

Do you realize how many people are hesitant to buy a 3rd party montior with a branded system? Have you ever tried to get an AOL user to change? That's the target audience.
