From a general public perspective, the computer user tends to focus less upon competition than user utility. As a general user, for example, I would therefore not use the term "Killer Application" to define Microsoft's Web browser. Instead, the way in which my friends and I view such a browser is an extremely useful tool to find as much information as possible in as short a time as possible. The focus is upon utility and end result.

In terms of competition, I would use the browser that offers the best results in the shortest time. I would also use the one that is easiest and fastest to download. I would therefore not invest in an application that is inferior to one already offered as part of a wider application such as windows, or that would prove more difficult and time consuming to download.

However, the larger business context of the issue should also be kept in mind. Microsoft, as asserted by both the company and its supporters, have innovated their products within the protocol of business paradigms. Other companies are free to offer their products in this highly competitive environment. However, in my view as user, Microsoft's browser product is far superior and I will use this for as long as it is legally available.

Whatever the conclusion, or whichever position is the right one, usability and competition work hand in hand for or against the success of a product. Dialogue about the various definitions have the effect of informing the end user of terms, such as "Killer Application," that they may not have otherwise been aware of or concerned with. What is most interesting is that such revelations continue to help the end user make more informed and beneficial choices, while helping business owners to conduct their affairs more effectively......
