>> but I don't feel compelled to peel back the covers the way you probably do. You are interpolating other people's experience from your own--not necessarily valid, imo.<< Why don't you try being a technician on win9x machines and see what perceptions you get of customers' expectations versus the reality of this buggy software? To be fair, I enjoy win95. I also see the disconnect between what it is - persnickity - and what many customers seem to think it should be - flawless. Does MSFT ever describe their own programs as "persnickity," or even "feature bloated" or "slow?" I imagine not. If this is the case I call this being dishonest. You MSFT cheerleaders may have market psychology on your side, but to pretend that MSFT's software is written to the highest standards of quality would be a mistake. Whatever the case - love MSFT or hate them - if they go down so does everyone else. Having them as the bellwether on the NASDAQ is ridiculous and will in the end lead to ruin, imo. FWIW Andy
