Jon, it's a monopoly. Microsoft has shown time and again that they will use the threat of witholding one portion of their business to force the acceptance of another. They have also shown that they are will ing to corrupt standards to their own favor. Java and Javascript development is a nightmare because of what Microsoft did- and they did it on purpose to torpedo Java. Even HTML is not safe. Just take a look at the "save as HTML" option in Word. Why use the MS character set instead of iso 8859? It seems like just to make my life more difficult, as I try to maintain a web site that stays accessable to all. Just because we can all migrate to Linux when Microsoft decides it is worth while crushing Apple doesn't mean they are not a monopoly. Sorry, but I hate Microsoft right to the core of my being. I have never bought a single thing from them, but that doesn't mean they are not a monopoly. Web
