When your average investor hears about those hot technology IPOs that surge seconds after they start trading, he turns green with envy. That’s because only the investment banks and brokerage houses that underwrite the deal, their best customers and other insiders get the stock at the initial-offering price.

Now those same people are drooling at the prospect of Mac’s innovations appearing in the new Microsoft system....
