<According to lead attorney Urowsky, yes. It just isn't quite economic at this point, though if Microsoft decides it needs a flat tax of $200/unit from OEMs, it could happen.> That'd be my precise point, If they Charge $200/unit OEM, and included those above, who will not pay? CPQ, DELL, GTW....??? all unlikely since if they don't what are they going to do with their PC? OS/2, Linux, DOS/Win3.1??? But effectively, it will kill Corel, Lotus, Intuit, and the list of casualty will go on and on.... Will that be good for the consummer? Short term, maybe (since we can get all S/W cheap) Long term will be big loser:-( Mike
