Actually, let me "rewrite" my initial post and eliminate the first 
paragraph.  I was just upset this morning thinking about the fact that 
Can*n has introduced a self cleaning sensor (which is ironic considering 
how many felt that it wasn't really needed or didn't work well) and is 
now introducing live-view into their newest lineup.  Comparing them to 
what I personally feel Micros*ft is all about was uncalled for.  At the 
moment I really don't care what Can*n does or doesn't do though I do 
feel strongly that the "better qualities of humankind are brought forth 
through cooperation rather than competition."  I need to spend less time 
"thinking" and more time taking photographs. :)
