Sorry, Ted. I like to be 'colorful' in words. First Amendment or something like that. Or I've watched too much CNN Crossfire. I bet you yourself swear from time to time when you are not on the tube?

The 'intended' question you restated wasn't what I referred to but ITSELF doesn't make sense! The question I singled out was pointedly refuted by the Baldhead when he stated other companies make apps that run on Windows without writing the ops itself.

I was disappointed that when you had the opportunity to ask questions with regard to what might affect consumers, or the great damage done to the state pension funds that invest in MSFT (the very same states whose AGs sue Microsoft), etc. you delved into the technical issues that neither you nor the Baldie could properly address.
