Thread: Thought some of you would enjoy this: W. Mossberg's Personal Technology column in the WSJ today (it appears every Thursday) is entitled, "Dear Diary: I'm Tired Of the Way Windows Crashed and Freezes!" He lists 23 incidents over a 7 day period using six different Windows PCs. He concludes: "But a big share of the blame must surely be laid at the feet of Microsoft, which made both the operating system and several of the applications involved. Please don't bother to write me with suggestions for fixing the problems. The whole point is that owners of computers shouldn't have to get involved in making them work as promised. They should just work, all the time."

Re: drooling on shoes- Whatever M$ plans; renting, rent-to-own, leasing, lease option, installment plan secured by your PC, the fact remains that the server is the only thing that matters. That being the case, M$'s 'renting' is irrelevant off of the server, and it isn't going to happen on a Windows internet server. Therefor, it happens on *nix and specifically Solaris. M$ needs to write their suite to the Solaris server or Sun Java, and hope for the best in leveraging their brand from that position. IMO -JCJ
