John I applaud your distinguished Ability to use the English Vocabulary to Describe appropriately the Insanity, abuse of power by those obnoxious imbeciles who have wasted our tax dollars and frustrated millions of microsoft shareholders. I think you should be appointed as a member of Microsoft advisory board on Public Relations. Keep up the good posts. Hope before the elections next year that people will be totally fed up with the knuckle heads that have been giving so many of us migraines and vote the bastards out of office.

Many Thanks for people like you.
Frank

To All: MSFT Inks deal with SONY. This Agreement offsets the pro Palm Pilot decision made by SONY to the temporary detriment of CE. In the long run MSFT will use hooks such as Windows Media and Voice recognition to gain the upper hand in palm size devices. The only efficient way to program these small devices i.e. enter data will be by voice.
