It does, the amount of stuff that goes on here/everywhere about competing with or bettering or how unix/product-X does/doesn't need to compete with or improve upon microsoft just amazes me. I think that everything you read is probably quite correct. Personally I only read the little booklets Sun/SGI send, and only for humour value of considering buying one of their laptops which sell for several tens of thousands of dollars, just because they run X and have >32MB of memory. Hey, Sun now sell 128MB simms for 5000 uk pounds (guess that's about $10,000). Hey, Software/Lan Warehouse are good to read - same reason.
