Yes most of it is wrong. But the facts remain MSFT targeted it's market appropriately and delivered the technologies that ISV's needed. Sun did the same then, but doesn't do it now. Could commoditize the hardware don't you know. BTW, Sun was on Motorola 68000 series 16 bit processors until around mid 80's and then abandoned the ISV's code base for their own proprietary Sparc architecture. Sun's RPC was purchased from Unisys. Symbolic links from System III are cool for admins but DFS in Windows works better for users. Yes MSFT is the real innovator, Sun is a follower. The proof is in code not paper specs and press releases. Keithsha

<<Lets see what I can dig out of my memory (yes I know these are probably wrong, but the general idea is sound)>> Since youre within your memory bank, today, how do you like the lashings upon $unw so far? Me? Thanks for asking. I like it a lot. I also like a lot, the fact that msft is outperforming your about-to-be-slaughtered-baby. Yes I know youll say its because of their monopoly in good times, and cause they suck in bad times. Its a media lock-step....youve fallen to the front. Good job!
