I is this attituted that makes the average consumer ridicule those that hate MSFT. Steady, Reggie, take a walk out side, cool off. If my internal spelling/grammar correction is functioning, I can sorta understand that. I suffer from this bad attituted, I think it was the beans last night. And you, of course, are the average consumer who just happens to have devoted his life to Microsoft worship. I'd say the average consumer is the one keeping retail Windows95 flying off the shelf when the OEMs won't touch it. Funny, nobody seems to want to explain that one. Cheers, Dan.

Reg - How is MSFT coercing my small business not to use NOVL? C'mon, Reg, you're not that dense, are you? MSFT has said that if you've got NOVL s/w installed on your NT box, they'll not even support NT! I simply feel MSFT offers a better solution. Ask somebody that needs a high performance distributed filesystem. Ask a magazine review of distributed filesystems. The only thing MSFT has got going for them is their marketing, and their coercive tactics aimed at destroying the availability and viability of other companies products. There's something wrong when the only way you can compete is by tearing your competitors down, not by improving your own products. As for your other reply, I told you I'm not discussing it with you, because I feel you don't have a decent grasp of the technology. Your comparison of JavaScript with DOS,NT, and Win95 only serves to make me more sure that you don't know what you're talking about. -justinb

I get a kick out of your replies Reg. This was your reply to Justin about 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. I is this attituted that makes the average consumer ridicule those that hate MSFT.How is MSFT coercing my small business not to use NOVL? I simply feel MSFT offers a better solution. Check this out and remember the dates. Novell Cuts Price On NT Directory Service techweb.com (01/15/98; 1:33 p.m. EST)By Amy Rogers, InternetWeek Hoping to combat the perception that its directory software is too costly, Novell is having a sale on its NetWare Directory Service (NDS) for Windows NT --- Now this is what your superior microslop company does with it superior NT and superior products. Microslops slogan should be If you can't beat them cut them off support for the OS. Microsoft halts NDS support infoworld.com Posted at 3:47 PM PT, Jan 16, 1998 Microsoft now plans to refuse technical support to any Windows NT customers who install Novell's Novell Directory Services (NDS) for NT - regardless of whether the problem actually lies with NDS. For administrators running NT-only networks, the directive from Redmond, Wash., is clear: Wait for Microsoft's forthcoming Active Directory if you need a comprehensive directory and want NT technical support. --- This kind of tactics has nothing to do with superior products and only can be stopped by either the DOJ breaking up microslop or else the consumers rebelling by refusing to buy Microslop. In the end the consumer is the one who suffers. Come on were is Ralph Nader when you need him. I can't wait for your explaination on this one and you can use this technicial BS answer. You said Microslop is superior so you can't use that BS excuse. Mike
