To All: JAckson will have to wield a lobotomy scalpel as well as a gavel. MSFT just keeps releasing more good news day after day. This is why they are dominant:
LAS VEGAS, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Unisys Corp. (NYSE:UIS - news), with 10 industry partners, on Monday said it unveiled the largest transaction processing system ever on a Microsoft Corp. Windows operating system, in a bid to show that Microsoft's upcoming generation of software is ready to run the busiest Web sites.

Unisys joined Microsoft and key makers of high-speed data storage, network equipment and software to showcase a Microsoft Windows 2000 system capable of handling 4,000 computer transactions a second and more than 3 billion Web hits a day.

The system includes a 9-terabyte, or trillion byte, data warehouse, the largest commercial database ever built using a single copy of Microsoft's SQL Server 7 database software program.

Thanks for that tip, John. I have to admit to not having
tried IE 5.0... Having always used Navigator, and having
only made periodic tests of the earlier IE versions, I
can't offer a current, accurate assessment of the two. I do
think that Netscape's rate of progress has gone down the
tubes since AOL took it over. AOL only picked it up to have
a weapon to hold over MSFT, imho, anyway.... I'll give IE
5.0 a try...
