Bradley, I believe that we are in violent agreement. The desktop (i.e. CORL office suite) IS important. But IMHO opinion the combined offering is MORE important, hence the deal. Time will tell. The number of industry heavy weights lining up to support Linux is a strong indicator that they believe this market will support significant revenue streams. As much as these players may dislike MSFT's competitive practices, they are not supporting Linux just to spite the boys from Redmond<g>. Carlos
