In praise of MSFT I worked and lived in 5 continents for 18 years. And I know the damage done by proprietary systems. Look to AC power: 220AC, 110AC. 50Hz and 60Hz. Look to the sockets you plug you appliances. Look to the paper you print: Legal in the US A4 outside the US. Look to the writing: Wherever you go the people speak unintelligible sounds. Every where the locals devised a trick to hold people by their balls. But them the computer came. There is even countries that drive on the left side of the road! Look to a PC: the same all over the would! Just boot it and you go. That's why I love this monopoly! Now we have CDMA, TDMA, PHS, DECT and other shit. Enters MSFT: Just another window in you trusted PC. The telecoms world has it coming. MSFT may even lose: But I am supporting it all the way.

Bill: What you say is very true and when the analists and the competition see what has happened they will all have egg on their face. The analists will raise their recommendations ex post facto and the competition will go to the government and cry foul. MSFT has planted/ is planting the seeds in the net,TV cell phones and servers and when they reap the rewards the competition will want to be handed a piece of the action. It is really disgusting. JFD
