Most of their advertisers rely on M$ one way or another. This means knocking M$ in the editorial sections is bad as the advertisers will run. This means a lot of the `consumer' mags are real buddy-buddy with all things Microsoft. There are (or were) even allegations in the UK of some of the mags taking backhanders from M$ for giving good reviews of M$ software. Sorry. I meant to say they got ``advertising bonuses'' Sigh. Anyone want to donate about $20 billion to the FreeBSD project so we could put M$ in their place? Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
