Hi Lee, well bundling Navagator with 98 IS pretty lame to expect I'll grant you that but..They also go to Dell Gateway IBM PC Co and say we'll give you 98 (0r 95 or windows 3.x) for $0.50 per machine you ship if you pre-install it on that machine. Between Dell, Gateway, IBM etc etc how many machines come pre-installed with Windows. They can't put OS/2 or Linux or Solaris on them. They contractually aren't allowed to. This is why I don't do OS/2 or Unix any longer, what's the point? When Intel comes out with a 64 bit protected mode only chip NT will kill unix too. They are and have always been anti competitive. They badly need that bloody nose and there is only one entity I can think of that may be big enough to give it to them. We'll see. Besides what the government asks for and what they'll accept are two different things I am sure. Walt
