Linux on the desktop is a loser. David, With all due respect, I think this is the most shortsighted statement since Bill Gates declared 640K "enough for anybody". But I do agree MSFT isn't sitting still; I'm convinced they'll make their own Linux play before it is over -- they just have to wait until the right time so they don't destroy the Windows business. I also agree about the CORL deal. Unfortunately, I'm sitting on a good number of INPR call options, and don't have a sensible way out at this point. I was burned a couple years ago right as the stock started to turn the corner, and now I feel I have been again. "God, I don't want the cheese anymore, if you'll just get me out of this trap."
