What makes you so sure? MSFT is keeping its source code proprietary. How can they possibly compete against an open source Palm OS that already has 85% market share? I am not sure. No real clue. BTW, which PDA did you end up buying? I bought a Palm IIIc last week. It has more intelligence per ounce than any device I've ever owned and I've owned many. The Palm Vx. I do not have it yet. They are making a new version of that unit that ships sometime this week.
