<<MSFT actually has to pay AT&T to get them to use their OS.>> Actually not so absurb when you think that is the way they got the PC industry to adopt their version of DOS in the first place. I think they gave OEMs $5 per install of their DOS. This killed the other versions of DOS and PC Tools that were out on the market at the time. When they got enough user and software support, they started charging for it. Histroy repeats. -Bill_H
