Why shouldn't it? well, I can't answer every rhetoric of your arguments. It shouldn't becuase, this is getitng to repetitive, of its leverage of its OS monopoly, where, other companies have successful businesses doing just that. Well, I guess I'll have to sound repetitive also. Should MS, then, not be allowed to have a file browser in the OS? After all, isn;t that going to ruin Norton? Or what about a TCP/IP stack? Goodbye FTP Software. Re: lucky.. Well, this doesn't fly. There should be no luck in these things. I had an HP unix box up for 18 months with no problems. I had a web server, app server, MAC emulation, oracle 7, and a bunch of cron jobs. No problem, not once, of crashes or freezes. It was shut down twice to be physically transferred to another building. I guess I have better luck with unix boxes!! And my NT machine runs for weeks at a time, only coming down to install a new video card or drivers. What I'm saying is, for all the problems you seem to have, I just don't have them. Sorry.
