cheryl, First, M$FT has always had a monopoly in PC O/S's. Once they signed on w/IBM back in the early 80's everyone who licensed an INTC-based desktop platform automatically licensed "PC-DOS", which belonged of course to M$FT. It was an exclusive deal. Say what? The first PC I ordered for my work were PC/AT (8 Mhz) machines. Up until then we were programming Z60/CP\M machines. I was offered PC DOS or IBM XENIX on the new AT's. Do you always just make stuff up? I used IBM XENIX for several systems later converting them to SCO XENIX and then SCO UNIX System 5. Apple had most of the home market. IBM had most of the business market. Maybe you should contain your hallucinations to the SUNW thread where hallucinations are the norm. Tom
