Qcom a monopoly? I don't think that will happen easily as they have more than 80 licencees for IS95-related technology. Are there any other phone standards that have phone-cores-on-a-module for DIY'ers?
Qcom OEM's RF components to other companies and has become one of the top-10 producers who don't have their own chip-fab facility.

Back to brother Bill. I have tried installing IE4, it didn't work. But, I am getting faster at installing NT, again. The part that scares me the most is not that MSFT ships garbage, but the fact that MSFT wants to bankrupt all the alternatives.

If I were a MSFT-specialist, I would be very afraid. At work, they "upgraded" my deskstation to NT because they were testing solutions for remote NT management for herds of boxes.

Look Ma! Smaller MIS departments!!!

synchro,

The browser upgrade cycle is way shorter than the OS upgrade cycle.

Ah, but that's with competition. Wait until Netscape is gone. The cycle will lenghten to 2 years. (I hope they will at least test it)
