Johnd sez: MSFT may be headed south as AOL may take all MSN users, the world will switch to staroffice, windows folks will switch to MacOS, besides X-Box may never take-off as there are already Nintendo, Sega and ya, Sony too! what do you think? MSFT will rule the world! Wait... Does not compute... Does not compute... MSFT good... two legs bad. Must find pi's last digit... cannot calculate... transcendental function... <fizzle!> <crack!> <hissssss...> :-) No, really, all of that is true, except for the AOL part. I'm no bigger fan of AOL than of MSFT. After MSFT mortally wounded Netscape, AOL apparently purchased them just so that they could keep Netscape sufficiently alive to torture it mercilessly. Netscape 6.0 is an incredible step backward. Many Windows users WILL switch to Mac OS, particularly when .NET comes out. I think .NET will be as popular as DIVX and metered Internet usage. People want to be able to buy their software and not have to keep paying. And paying. And paying. As far as X-Box goes, don't mortgage your house to buy X-Box derivatives. There's simply nothing compelling about this machine over competitive products. Dave
