Still annoyed that Novell didn't take you up on your offer to straighten them out Reggie? They hadda go hire Eric Schmidt, go down the bogus, fraudlent Java path instead. Doesn't Microsoft make Visual C++? Or is that VisualDirectInterDevActiveStudio++ these days? Cheers, Dan.

Reg - Nonsense, NOVL was, and still is the network OS majority. MSFT outmarketed NOVL and provided more functionality by tying in application serving, something that NOVL bundled. Baloney. MSFT is using it's advantage in the OS market to coerce consumers to not use NOVL. Embrace, extend, and demolish. Consumers and free choice be damned. -justinb

>>>Nonsense, NOVL was, and still is the network OS majority. MSFT outmarketed NOVL and provided more functionality by tying in application serving, something that NOVL bundled.<<< Point of fact, I believe that between UNIX, NT, intranet servers of various kinds like Linux boxes and Win95 peers, Novell lost it's majority share in late 1996 or so. So much so that NT prices per server seat have been getting forced up by various means for over a year. If you carefully check licensing price details and changes to Workstation arrangements vs Server, for a 20-seat license, for instance. Embrace, extend, demolish the competition, raise prices. Chaz
