Ken,

>>Yes maybe, but if you control 'both' the 'hardware' and 'software', somebody is gonna' get ya'! IBM has to be real careful here! (Otherwise, history will repeat itself!)

No, the PC industry is a 'special case' of capitalism and things can be 'bundled' without incrimination. Ask Reg to elaborate further on this. If Microsoft really has the superior products they claim then surely IBM would lose, even if they gave out their software free... Just think what Rhapsody on a 1000MHz PPC would do in the Enterprise wars.

Cheers,

Norm
