I was going to say that was pure speculation, but I can't even be that generous. If NSCP could not do it back then when they had nearly ALL of the market share, how did they do it recently with less market share and clout? NSCP got quite a few ISPs, jsut ask the NSCP OEM salesman that use to post to this thread. NSCP can get ISPs, because they are much more independent and relatively new to software bundling (i.e. MSFT hasn't been able to get their claws into them and condition them to kneel), but what about computer hardware OEMs? They are, as I believe Bill once said, merely distributors of MSFT products. Don't get me wrong, I like NSCP as a company, but I don't feel they are a good investment and I don't think there products are as good as MSFT's. How many NSCP products have you used? How many do you even know about? Part of the reason that NSCP can get ISPs is because the server products scale much better. And in the server world, scalability is everything.
