Off Topic Here is another dirty little tricks from MS. Caldera CEO says MS threatening PC makers www5.zdnet.com Microsoft Corp. is threatening to suspend the contract of least one of the United States' largest computer manufacturers in a dispute over bundling a competing operating system, Caldera Inc. CEO Bryan Sparks alleged Monday. Caldera, together with more than a dozen other companies, produces a version of Linux, a low-cost, collaboratively developed version of the popular Unix operating system. Linux was the only operating system not owned by Microsoft that gained market share in 1997. "Microsoft has gone and threatened to pull their license -- and I know it happened," Sparks told Inter@ctive Week. "It's one of the top five." --- Like I keep saying when the average computer consumer wakes up out of this microslop world they will understand that computers are not suppose to crash all the time and Linux will show them the way except good old MS dirt little tricks. Oh well the average consumers doesn't deserve reliable OS since it appears they will not get a choice since MS has such a strong monopoly. JMHO Mike
