Tim, Re: Remember how Sun wanted to do the same thing with Java? We would all be running Java VMs and Java applets and Sun would be "the next Microsoft." Ironically, if Sun succeeded with the Java model, things may have turned out more beneficial for Intel. Java apps require significantly more CPU cycles than native apps, which would probably give businesses another reason to continue upgrading their PCs. The market decided not to embrace Java because it performed much slower, but these days, gigahertz computers have no problem crunching that sort of data. It would have been a good opportunity. wbmw

TC - Re: "Had either of these companies succeeded in these plans, would they be calling for their own breakup? Their whines are just the whines of losers. The hatred of Microsoft goes beyond all reason...it has become pathological, just as the hatred by the AMDroids and the Maniban for Intel is pathological. " Pathological hatred - that describes it. Sounds like "Taliban Talking "! Re: "Or why not Macs?" I have it on good authority (from Little Lucifer) that Macs suck !!!! Paul
