>>The word is that Gates told (Symbol) he would like to see Symbol Technology use the Windows CE technology on their newer units. If Symbol doesnt use WindowsCE then MSFT will have to consider removing their discounted $3/licence of MS-DOS and return them to a $27/licence. Basic blackmail. And likely the company will have no choice but to comply because that cost increase is not likely acceptable.<< Someone should get in touch with Symbol and tell them about Caldera. I'm they could work something out with Caldera if the MSFT thing doesn't work out. FWIW Andy
