Ed, you have a shallow and extremely naive understanding of what MSFT has achieved and the weak attempts to relate everything from patents held by Texas instruments to Netscape's use of a computing language proves it. Your arguments are foolish as are all arguments based on ignorance. DOS was a pathetic hack by any measure and Windows wasn't much better. Window's stranglehold can be explained by an incremental dependence of PC hardware and software investments which became a virtually insurmountable barrier to even the most innovative competing platform. After losing the numbers game to Microsoft it looks as though IBM, Sun, Oracle, Apple, Motorola and myriad other companies finally get it. Fortunately for them Java technology has the dual threat of superiority (despite those who bring up Java of two years ago as some sort of meaningful comparison)plus compatibility with Windows-based PCs. Microsoft is on a downward leg of their journey and people like you will wake up to that reality about 4 years after it's already old news.
