Maurice,

Your worship of $ill and microsoft is nauseating.

>>Not yet satisfied, they attack Microsoft which has single handedly brought cheap communications and powerful computing to hundreds of millions of people and accelerated The New Paradigm immeasurably. Yes, immeasurably - I don't believe anyone has any idea how dramatic will be the effects<<

Let's look at all of Microsoft's innovations; graphical interface? communication software? word processor? spreadsheet? web browser?
Do you believe that microsoft products dominate in these areas because of innovation? What exactly has microsoft invented? Microsoft has leveraged the power of controlling the OS to dominate in application software. The closest microsoft has come to innovation is purchasing companies that have succeeded through innovation, somewhat more honorable than just stealing. I imagine that you think that the SEC should have minded their own business and let MS buy Intuit. I'm surprised $ill didn't just include "MS Money" in his OS to gain market share from Quicken.

Microsoft hasn't single handedly brought us anything. It's to bad the Qpooch is MIA. You definitely need your leg pissed on.

Pete

Single handedly, where do you come up with this POOP!
