Mike I respect your views ... I want everyone to make money in the market. MSFT will continue to make money. Their dominant position on the desktop will continue. The real threat to MSFT (and Bill knows it) is change. Not the DOJ ... not Toy or Rusty. But really ... using "Microsoft" and "innovation" together is laughable. I use NT at work and calling it "reliable" is absolutely ridiculous as any IT professional will agree. Hearing Neukom say that Netscape lost market share due to their "technology" is asinine. He lost all credibility with that comment. With all due respect by the time NT 5.0 "really cooks" the world should be using robust, 64 bit operating systems. I can't send a buddy an e-mail via HotMail because of NT. I've called a rental car company only to have their computer be "down". UNIX isn't going away. SUNW is doing very well. You can afford to reboot a PC on your desktop. The blue screen is now costing business real money. Microsoft's strength is writing contracts ... not technical innovation. And there continues to be plenty of money to be made doing that. There's nothing wrong with that in my view. Was it P.T. Barnum? "A sucker is born every minute." I just prefer to use better products. I've never heard a Microsoftian defend the quality of their products. I admit that my bias as an engineer leads to great design and quality products being almost a religious experience. It's fun hearing from all points of view. Thanks. Continued good luck.
