Leigh - see my earlier comments about Intel and DELL targeting the ASP space with Linux... DELL is clearly taking sides with Intel and this is not likely to win any friends for them in Redmond, but it is a realistic course for DELL to take.

Hi Leigh, my take on the article that you posted is simple. Investing in high tech is risky. <VBG> I am not surprised that reports on Win2k possible problems are now coming out. I don't know if they are true or not. However, it's not uncommon for new software to have some problems. That's why I like to wait awhile before I load new software on my pc. Dell backing Linux is bad PR for Msft. However, Msft is fully aware of the threat offered by Linux. Is this a problem for Msft in the long run? I really don't know, but I doubt it. If it weren't for the antitrust case, I suspect Msft would buy Linux. However, since it's open s/w, it may be hard for Msft to buy the company and kill the product. I just don't know how this will all work out. Larry
