OT Didn't realize that Linuxworld was coming up....This must explain the frantic volume on msft on Friday. I can assure you there will be a lot of Linux news coming out of this conference, none of which will be pleasant for MSFT shareholders

KG4, Your link is a great news. I hope we as consumer have that choice. Similarly there are software that can replace Office. I am waiting for a day when that will happen. But I am not sure whether it is a ploy, by willy Billy and Dell, to keep pressure on Judge Jackson's forth coming final stage or a true annoucement. Time will tell. -Nat >>> Dell to Offer Linux to the Masses, Reports Inter@ctive Week GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell Computer Corp.
