I think it is all by choice. When they split the suite they created a
stripped down browser and mail client. That led to an add-on industry
that has produced a huge smorgasbord of build-your-own gadgets. The
question that is still being answered is; does the general world want
build-your-own, or ready-made.

I have said before, and still believe, the suite was split so they could
compete with Explorer without taking on Outlook. I switched a friend
running Win from IE\Outlook to SM. The browser change was painless.
Getting her to use SM mail has created a career for me.
