<<IBM and SUNW finish their operating system. It will be free for a couple of years as this is the only way to take out windows. AOL obtains PCs with new SUNW operating system cheap (maybe made by DELL?) because they don't have to pay MSFT $300 for windows. AOL then gives these PCs away to new members. SUNW benefits as they have a means of getting their new operating system into the mainstream and competing with windows for real. AOL gains customers, add revenue, and more diversity in its business. IBM gains a foothold in the new operating system that will take out or at least share with MSFT. The public gets a better operating system than Windows. >> And how many years into the future are we predicting here?
