"Otherwise, Windows it is. Quick poll here? How many posters are accessing this forum with a Windows-based browser? How many of you think you could fire up a UNIX box to do the same? "

huh....i access the web with Netscape on a Sun Workstation at work. I have a home computer running Winblows 95 which is rarely used since it doesnt have internet access - a $3,000 paper weight. I get 90% of the work i need done on the browser - why should i care if i run Netscape on Windows orSolaris On the other hand my Solaris workstation is always up and productive immediately since it stays on all the time - i walk in, check my mail and get on the net immediately. I do not recall when was the last time i had to reboot it. Alternatively My pc will often freeze and need to be rebooted due to all the conflicts in the software - I get several error messages during the boot process of several minutes which have stayed the same for the 3 years ive owned it and i have no idea what they mean. While Microsoft promises that Winblowz 98 will have major improvements i guess like faster reboot times i think i'll pass on the opportunity.

So why do you think Micosoft is so interested in investing millions to develop a free browser and put Netscape out of business - dont you think they understand that the browser and Java obsolete their bloated desktop centric OS?
