I am not in favor of government interference in business, but it seems that nothing else will stop the M$ monopoly. They already have such a strong hold, that when they leverage new ideas and concepts, they have a juggernaut of installed systems that automatically increase the momentum of their movement. It makes it almost impossible to stop, because if we choose alternative OS's, we pay a price for M$'s lack of vision and desire to support non-M$ platforms. And they continue to do this, time after time. No matter how 'superior' or flexible we feel *nix to be, M$ will continue to make it downright inconvenient for us because they refuse to play fair. They clearly are out for their own profit and monopoly extension, not the interest of customers who may choose a mix of OS's because it is better for them. -=> jm <=- Please CC me on all replies ------------------------------------------------------- "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly."
