Re: "One question - if Windows was not on 95% of PCs, would MSFT applications be as successful? Without having the advantage of running on Windows and the bundling effect? You can't honestly tell me yes -- But we'll never know will we? Heck we'll never know what we've missed because of the marketplace being skewed so far towards one company too!"

I have asked myself after reading this: "Was Windows ALWAYS 95% of PCS?" This reminds me of the story of Job when he asked the Lord "Why?" after losing his family and land to which the Lord replied in part: "Where were you when I created the heavens? Where were you in the beginning you came along later and wish to know why?" Of course these are not direct quotes but my understanding of this biblical story If anyone has the true readings I welcome a better understanding. But please do understand I am only ALWAYS giving my opinion on these threads.
