>>>Lower than NT workstation sales? Norm, how many consumers do you know buying NT Workstation? >>>Just what do you think the profit margin on $700 PC's is for the manufacturer? I think $50 must be a decent cut of it otherwise why not a $650 model instead of $700? Wow, by that logic why not a $750 PC? Or a $50 PC. Or hell, why not just make it free if you can install freeware Linux! >>>No one cares what OS is running UNDER their browser, that's what scares MSFT. What advantage does Windows lend to a browser? None. People wanting to use the Internet do not need Windows. People running IE, do. So now we're back to the very same argument that hyped NSCP and depressed MSFT during the fall of 1995. I really should just let it stand at that... but I'll go on to note that today's OS does a lot more than just let you run a browser. Better, I'll refer you to my post #18779, which you apparently didn't get to before making your post, regarding most people's desire to do more than just one thing--browse the web--on their computer.
