Why should BA care (other than sheer spite), whether the economies of scale for Concorde servicing are being brought down by having AF as a partner, Air Canada, or Virgin, or Microsoft for that matter??</font>
Why did no other airlines apart from BA and AF want to fly Concorde when they had the option to? Eddington had gone on TV and said if other airlines had flown it while it was in its haydays, things might be different...

Why don't Microsoft give away their code when they don't support a product anymore? They spent all that money and why should they allow other competitors to benefit from it?
