i propose the following. since we all believe in open standards, why don't we have an open debate on the past, current and future of the IT industry. i would like to see an open debate/forum, much like the presidential primary detabes, between gates, dell, ellison and mcneally hosted by one of the networks. now this would be interesting. one last thought. after these next couple of earnings reports from msft, ALL msft investors will be demanding a stock dividend. that is the only way you will see a positive return on your investment in the years to come. rocky.

blisenko, <<He said Microsoft had reacted to Intel's NSP media playing software by threatening to withhold support for Intel's next generation of chips and pressuring computer makers not to install NSP. John Galt might have reacted by building a better media player at a lower cost but that's just what an Objectivist would have done... A Microsoftian Capitalist must be someone who prefers to stifle competition and control trade, much like the British Empire of old, which the Founding Fathers finally tossed out. Cheers, Norm
