Bill,
<<The corporate philospohy that wishes never to share shelf space is the evil in the empire.>>
What corporation wouldn't want all the shelf space? Business ain't a Girl Scout picnic.
<<With software monopolies like win95 and NT you have a safe revenue source you can use to undermine any area.>>
I posted and you responded on the AAPL thread a while ago about their porting the Mac OS to the x86 platform. The engineers developed it but management wouldn't release it. Majorly stupid but not MSFT's fault. If IBM had marketed OS/2 properly, it wouldn't have faded into oblivion. All the UNIX variants, with the exception of SUNW, seem to be standing around while MSFT attacks them from below. NOVL has been wandering in a daze for some time. If MSFT's competitors can't compete, then too bad for them.
<<And that is why MSFT must be broken up.>>
So goes the mantra: "Bust 'em up, bring 'em down, slap 'em in chains, they're too good, they're too successful, whine, snivel, boo hoo". I don't know whether to laugh, cry, toss my cookies, or just shrug my shoulders and forget about it. Think I'll log off now and enjoy one of Dans fine Wisconsin brews.
