Will you be kind enough to exit this thread? You are talking up Netscape and Linux. What for? I've noticed on SI that threads develop unique personalities. This one seems to be a hype-only thread. Only pro-Microsoft messages are tolerated unless they deal with short-term trading. In that case, any message is allowed. The unfortunate result of that is that it might blind readers of the thread to any genuine market threat that might develop to Microsoft's dominance. So here we have a new poster who is willing to actually say something about the trial that doesn't sound like it's coming from a Microsoft PR flak. He's said he likes Linux and Navigator. Why? If, as most here maintain, Microsoft faces a genuine threat from alternatives like Linux, then it might be useful to find out from a user why Linux is preferable to him.
