Cheryl, would you please point out what they, we, etc., are going to turn to for an OS that will replace the "Microslop" [sic] product? Don't misunderstand - I feel there are some very solid grounds for questioning some of MSFT's tactics and I do have some minor annoyances with some of the application products, but to imply users are going to run off and buy a replacement for their existing Wx OS is not realistic. We have to face reality - a lot of people are satisfied with what they are able to do with their computers and see no need to do anything but put on some new software and upgrade every once in a while. It's the tech junkies in any industry that love to tout technical superiority in the face of market superiority. It's the same story with Apple, Pugeot, etc. Those who want to appear to be "in the know" like to get together and assure themselves a place among the cognoscenti by bashing those who may be crude but successful. JMHO (for what it's worth). Mr. K.
