>> I also believe that with MSFT's recent and numerous marketing and delivery mistakes (multi-year delays on NT5, a soon to be proven immature Active Directory, being shackled from performing anti-trust violations, and its shuffling feet attitude to accept and build open-standard systems) has dramatically watered down the "Lemming Factor" that they so successfully built for themselves. Toy << I hope so, but Windows 98 was said to not be worth it and the lemmings made it a pretty good seller. Don't underestimate the willingness of people to spend the corporate dollars, and even their own, to get the latest new edition to play around with. Wm Chaney
