In principle it's not. It all depends on how it's implemented.
If it's an open db like cddb or a search engine, then I'm happy.
If the only way to get linked in the default install is to hand over
large lumps of cash to MS, I'm unhappy cos that's a monopolistic
position.
I don't even mind if it's an open db which is initially
principally populated with MS properties - you have to
start somewhere.
Cheers
