I refer to all the other variants of the kernel that are incorporated into various server offerings. It is just another variant. Being free it is hard to see how it will fund its future improvement and how will it penetrate the mass of applications already written for Windows. What is to prevent MSFT from offering a blackk hat version of this free code and porting alltheir stuff to it faster than anyone else. I have found some good freeware in my cpu life but I never use it after a few months. The test of a product is someone willing to pay for it. I venture to say that MSFT could in fact charge for the new IE 5.0 and get away with it- it is that good. The test of enterprise is profit! Thanks for asking me to refine my earlier posit. JFD
