However, they have a near monopoly on the OS side, which is okay with me, if they maintained a level field for the applications developers. David, good point. There's talk about IE being a feature, an enhancement to the OS. Well I see that as one very expensive feature! It cost millions to develop these advanced browsers as does developing Office suites. Why not throw Office 97 on as an enhancement? Where does it all stop? If nobody ever questioned MS they are large enough and have the financial resources to destroy any company that tries to compete with them. What if they offered Word for free as part of the OS? Would anyone buy Word Perfect? Remember all the crap with Quicken? Why not bundle MS Money with Win95? Microsoft scares me, I do not want to see the software world dominated by one company, ever! They already own the OS but as you say maintain a level playing field for applications development. I believe that is imperative at all cost. Derek
