Cheryl - Did you know that desktop computers comprise only 2% of the microcomputer market??? Software developers care about units, not revenue - and in units desktop computers are more like 90% of the market. I can't think of any measure including revenue where desktops are less than 50% of the market unless you are counting automotive engine controllers in your microcomputer numbers. I don't know too many developers who write for the chevy suburban 454 timing control microcomputer. Can you back up your 2% number with any data of any type? You don't program in Windows, Windows is not a language Do you know what the win32 API is? do you know anything about programming? BTW I'm still waiting for you to explain why CPQ is outselling the Sun UE450 by more than 50 to 1. I thought you would explain that data to me, given that the UE450 is so much better.
