Blisenko, you don't get it. This is not a month-to-month competition. Yes, MSFT missed it this time. Doesn't mean more than that. IMHO, When the software is ready, it will win out. By the way, it is hard to work with the cable cos - they want to control everything that goes in. That creates problems wrt implementations if you want to keep the design extensible etc etc. Their idea of "open standards" is not what it is in the Internet arena. Of course, I may be wrong about this...
