>>You forget to take the inflation factor into consideration and that the price of OS count for less persentage of consumers' average income of today than five years ago,<< Facts can be inconvenient. The fact is that, as a percentage of the total cost of a machine, the OS has gone up considerably while the hardware has gone down in price. In 1995, a machine might cost $2500 with an $80 OS. Today the same machine is probably $699, still with an $80 OS. It's also funny to see a 486 with 8mb of RAM and Win 3.1x run faster than a pentium II/450 with 128mb of RAM under win98. I take it that bloat and speed issues aren't a consideration, as long as the business model is good? FWIW Andy
