thanks for reply. another question. so far i've seen alot about microsoft choking netscape. well i have netscape on my computer and would use it over the microsoft browser except that the microsoft browser permits me access to my brokerage account without having to retype the password each time i reboot. otherwise i preferred netscape. since any of us are free to use netscape, what did microsft do that was illegal? regards

I'm an investor of Novell stock, and NT has been taking NetWare to the cleaners the past 3-4 years as its a better application NOS, but also because of MSFT clout. W2K will attempt to integrate all of these platforms even further The MSFT is not going to make things any easier for Novell. MSFT has taken Netware to the cleaners even without any monopoly powers. Also on another matter, MSFT might be getting ready to take a lot of big companies to the cleaners as well---sunw, oracle, ibm. I think they kept a low profile until the "facts" were released. If they wanted to nail AOL, just reduce monthly MSN rates by $2 to $4 and that stock would tank. I believe they were being nice for a little while---Steve Case should send BG a thank you card. AOL stock went from 90 to 140s after the MSFT raise in monthly rates. If BG gets on a bit of mean streak, he could slash MSN subscriber rates. AOL would be toast!
