"Consumers, deprived of the right to buy the latest innovative PC operating system -- and therefore the reason to buy new devices and software that work with it -- would keep their cash in their pocketbooks." The letter was signed by some of the best-known chief executives in the industry, including Michael Dell of Dell Computer Corp., Andrew S. Grove of Intel Corp. and Eckhard Pfeiffer of Compaq Computer Corp. as well as heads of some software firms and computer retailing chains. >> I believe this is called 'sober second thoughts' :-)) John
