taxman: In my view it is wishful thinking. First of all everyone needs an O/S to do the simple stuff like: Print, talk to the modem or cable modem and print at the same time, listen to the scanner and the modem and the keyboard at the same time while sending images to the Monitor and playing music on the CD or taliking with peripherals as yet unheard of. The PC may become the TV of tomorrow it is the national radio of today even at 56k. The O/S is needed to run applications that write code and debug it. Yes much of this can be done at the Office Level talking to the Server but what are they going to run on the server. MSFT seems to be doing quite well in terms of yr over yr sales in the enterprise market so I don't see anything earth shattering here. The O/S that MSFT has in our boxes right now does an enormous amount of work all on its own and could with a few graphic enhancements do a lot more. I see the MSFT experience being a connection between the MSFT O/S and everything and anything on the web. Why didn't Fordor Honda team up with Sun? Have no fear Big Bill is still in control. JFD
