Yeah Greg--- And I am not capable of taking it out right? What BS... Neely is crying in his millions, the world productivity rate would be 10% of what it is,, I have seen them all. Most are just plain crap-- the businesses of the world have made Windows the standard,,, there are others out there anyone can use,,, if I am hiring someone and they tell me they know and teach Corel but do not know Office,, they can take a hike as the business world works on Windows,, the others have their followers,, the US govt just signed a multi million dollar contract with RHAT for Linux,, where is the problem-- anyone can use whatever they want and on servers no one except the administrator cares,,, but on working PCs their are standards as there are in everything we use or do,, If anyone wants a box with Linux call cpq, dell, muei-- they will be happy to dump one on them-- if they need assistance they are pretty much on their own through the net,,, It is called marketing--not arm twisting. There are 20 million people using AOL,,, I own the stock but would not have their software on any of my machines,, will you file a suit on that too? I use windows but dislike IE so I use Communicator,,, cannot anyone do the same,,, sounds like Reno and crew cannot figure out how to turn a box on and now are experts on the OS, mkting, and the whole 9 yards when in reality it is all just bullsh*t from those too computer illiterate to do as they THINK they want as if they get what they are asking for they will be in total chaos,,
