The way I feel about Windows, I think MSFT should _pay_ OEMs to use the OS in their machines. LOL! Good one, Lynn. I'm sure every one of those OEM's has a hefty "back-line support" deal in which they pay Microsoft to take calls about Windows bugs. And you're right, each of them will also have to bear substantial staffing and training costs for W2K (M$ will too, of course). The user, on the other hand, will get finger-pointing until they squeak enough to get some grease. However, I once had a really great Microsoft technical support experience, with the $99-per-incident NT 800 number. Didn't have to wait at all, and the guy actually knew his *ss from his elbow and fixed my problem. Amazing what you come up with when you drag a $100 bill through Mictrosoft tech support. That's one of the nice things about having a monopoly. The on-balance money flow tends to remain strongly in one direction. --QS
