Maxer..It is ironic that MSFT's OS is dependant on a product that was reverse engineered because the owners of the original BIOS wanted to charge too much for the right to use it. Read your screen when it boots and you will see Phoenix Technologies flash across it. They have become rich simply because greed got the best of the original BIOS developer. MSFT could fall prey to the same thing if they choose to charge too much for their products and that is what will keep them from ever charging extreme prices. Steve
