Bob: You and the judge are a little late in your pronouncement of MSFT's hegemony. Not a great stroke of brilliance. I thought Sun/Unix was the real industrial strength answer and that they were far superior to the poor offerings, as you describe them, provided by MSFT. It is peculiar that other IT professionals do like the NT system and look forward to the introduction of W2K. By your own admission there are no other products that supply the applications and service. You choose to blame this on MSFT. I choose to blame it on all the failed attempts to make Unix a viable inexpensive and practical. You will argue that is because Unix did not develop the desk top market first. I agree but that is the vision thing. Sell the desk tops first and then network them. Did you see the post extolling the credentials of your hero Jackson by the way?http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=11837704 There is a saying "A poor workman blames his tools" JFD
