Don't you realize that it is in Dell's and Compaq's interests to cooperate with M$ -- they're sucking on the front teat. You can still be free. Don't buy or recommend their crap. You pay for M$ every time you buy one of their products. Truth is, I'm deeply suspicious of this whole M$ anti-trust business since M$ was one of the first to get in bed with the government on the key escrow efforts -- and the government has "standardized" on M$. I think the whole thing is a shill. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
