Most of the time I stay out of the Nicoll War, but this statement seems ludicrous.

"But the real rebel against the tyranny that
says PC owners must always upgrade is the
Internet itself. Very little web content will
require PC owners to buy new hardware;
every new website will prolong the life of
existing hardware. Websites depend on
attracting as many visitors as they can.
Nobody would want to limit the appeal of
their sites by designing them to work
properly only on the fastest PCs."

The web, with broadband coming, will be the greatest incentive to upgrade that the home computing industry has ever seen.

Both MSFT and SUNW will benefit greatly from the proliferation of the web and its continued acceptance by the general public.

PC's rule the front end and Unix rules the backend.

Oranges and apples are both good.

Peace and Love,
jb
