Gnarly, If Microsoft is the "Borg," does that mean Corel is "Starfleet" or the "Federation?" Do you think Dr. Cowpland resembles Captain Kirk or Picard? Bill Gates reminds me of "Quark," the money pinching bartender. Actually, Gates is more like "Locutus," the voice of the Borg in its plan to assimilate the Federation.

Your metaphor is fitting because the Borg took anything that had individuality and made it a slave to its collective conciousness. As I've stated in earlier posts, I'm tired of being slavishly driven by Microsoft. Aside from Microsoft wanting a piece of all desktops, Gates just invested $1 Billion into my cable provider, and Satellites are next.

Resistance is Futile!
