<<the LA Times Editorial today called for softy to be required to license the source code...I think that solution could cause the stock to go up 75% by year's end>>

I and many many others totally agree with you, Lindy. Open source advocates must be careful what they ask for...it will indeed make Mr. Softee even stronger.

1. Open source will foster trust among programmers

2. Windows will be improved and customized in many ways, thereby increasing it's popularity

3. Customers will not have to wait for MSFT to fix bugs

4. Windows will be strengthened in the marketplace

5. Open source will slow defection to Linux

6. Open sourced Windows will make MSFT an even bigger gorilla

I'm sure Mike can add to this list. I'm just a dumb blonde stay-at-home Mom chasing after two toddlers, what do I know....
