Dylan, Considering that many of those radio manufacturers are also OEM providers to Ford and other automobile manufacturers, I see a little bit of difference in the comparisons. The issue here is that it is fine for MSFT to offer their browser free. That is their right. But forcing computer manufacturers to bundle IE with their win95 o/s or threatening to revoke their license is an entirely different situation. Make them provide it either separately or sell it as a separate software application. We all realize that MSFT has an extremely weak argument in claiming that IE is integral to the Win95 o/s. It isn't. Combining this with their attempts to corrupt Java into a Win95 only language it is becoming apparent that MSFT is getting out of hand and reducing competitive efficiencies and innovation in the software marketplace. We have only now to discover if the Federal Govt will have the cajones to push this issue in the courts. The real war will be fought out here and in corporate circles. It will be up to SUNW to prove that they can make Java work as advertised. Regards, Ron

Dylan.. I hope your enjoying this select group of superior intellect, what would we do with this profound group to help us through our daily life? I am so grateful to those select few who guide me and all the other souls whom can not think for our selves. Dylan, I do really get a kick from some of those dispersing their relentless attacks upon all who do not agree with their narrow points of view. I hope your investments are doing very well and your mind clear and body healthy. Attached, some real truth mixed in with some objective opinion, might make good reading if you have not viewed before.ÿ I sure some will berate this author as a ms suck-up, who cares, we only go around once I think.http://www.skwc.com/essent/mstruth.html ÿChow...
