Yo, Carlos: From the "Economist" article linked to this thread by James Ash, here are some "choice cuts" to back up what I was saying to you earlier about how Microsoft's preoccupation with Windows hinders its ability to embrace the internet: Microsoft's need to protect its core software market also hurt it. Because it was trying to encourage users to upgrade to Windows 95 and Windows NT, it released its most advanced browser for those operating systems first. Yet even now more than 70% of corporate PCs are still using older versions of Windows. The fact that Netscape runs on more kinds of computers was another selling point in big companies, which usually have a variety of systems. Worse followed. Because Microsoft tied its browser closely to its operating systems, it has fallen behind in the race to develop new features: it will not release its fourth-generation browser until later this year, six months after Netscape. . . . I know it's just after the weekend of the 4th and all, and you almost certainly are very busy. But I am still waiting for a response to my post number 10699.
