Reggie,

>>MSFT is the only vendor that is expected to offer "degrades" in thier OS.

Or is it that Microsoft, through their dumping practices, brought this upon themselves? Ignoring the cause and attempting to justify the effect proves nothing. Two men commit a homicide; one is defending himself against a car-jacker; the other just tried to install NT while on crack and went berzerk at Comdex. In your case you would ignore the background leading to the events and send both equally to the chair.

Does SGI restrict its resellers from removing any functionality before selling it to a customer? It sure does not sound like it. I will call SGI up and find out if they will sell me a machine with "installed software" removed. Did you ever specifically request them to do so? It is not a degrade to the OS if functionality not desired is removed. We do it all the time on an RTOS. Its called modular design and when done correctly, it really works. Maybe the Win98 designers have found a 1980 copy of RMX86 and caught on to this for the PC.

Cheers,

Norm
