It's not an opposing view, David. It's a pollyannish view. It was an opposing view several years ago. Now it's just goofy. We've been listening to 'just wait until your father gets home' with regard to MS for more than 5 years now. Forgive me for getting the distinct impression that if daddy hasn't come home by now, he isn't going to. We know what daddy's up to via reading MSFT earnings statements and market share surveys which show MSFT spinning it's wheels and going nowhere. With regard to free software -- it's eating your lunch. There are more free nix Intel servers being deployed these days than W2k Intel servers. Did you not know that? On the MSFT Militia thread I talked less about free software and more about software becoming services. .NyET (thanks, Proggy) should be an indication for you that maybe things are indeed going that direction. And off of the desktop, away from the fulcrum, MS is *nobody's daddy. -JCJ
