Aki, As i said, "The art of Negotiation,you know!" MS has basically won, it has agreed to provide both the standard version W98 and a neutered version without the browser enabled. If they are the same cost I wonder what the consumer market will opt for? Netscape will suffer regardless of the version favored by consumers, MSIE is FREE and is a very good product. I like the product and am hoping W98 will be better/smarter than W95. I will upgrade immediately as soon as it is available! MS will raise $20 once the release hits the shelves, everyone using W95 will want to benefit from the better functionality of W98, IMO. BB

Re: counting chickens before they hatch has cost me dearly in the past... how about u... Me? There were plenty of losses. But I never count on any prediction of future to buy and sell stocks. So I can not blame my losses on "counting chickens before they hatch". I figured that the losses were just the cost to invest. My investment philosophy is quite simple: if the end user demand drops, I will sell. The night after intel's ten percent revenue drop warning I did my first sell in two years and I sold majority of my holdings. good trading derek
