Wait, it gets worse, sandeep. You know that little antitrust matter that neither you nor I nor Judge PJ think will really result in a break-up of MS? Well, let's just say for the sake of argument that it's not really about the forces of evil out to squelch Microsoft's 'right to innovate' and it's exactly about what the findings say it's about. Whatever remedy or settlement is at the end of this crap, short of a full reversal, is going to contain the publishing/full documentation (secret sauce) of Win32. --- That means a tighter compatibility layer between nix and Windows apps, along with a cottage industry of 'porting kits'. --- If right now, Intuit ported Quicken to nix/GNOME 2, where does that leave "Where do you want to go today?"? -JCJ
