Barry - Thanks for the article on Microsoft's R & D. That seems to be an agressive, ambitious approach - they don't seem to have any hang-ups about spending all that money. I hope something good comes of it - like a new and improved version of "BOB". Paul

Barry, Re - "Supporting this roster, plus 200 or so bench players like Chayes, probably costs Microsoft much less than $100 million a year. That's a whole lot less than Gates might spend on another alliance with a cable company. This side bet on research, however, may prove to be the gambit that distances Microsoft forever from the competition. Of the next four biggest independent American software companies--Computer Associates, Oracle, Novell, and Sybase--only Novell has a basic research group, and it possesses a skeleton staff." Nice article Barry. Nice to see them thinking at least two quarters ahead! <g> Lee
