Greg, this is the type of stuff that DOJ needs to go after MSFT for. As a monopoly, you make an announcement of vaporware strictly for the purpose of freezing the competition. I am saddened by the fact that I will never have a good OS for my home computer because MSFT has destroyed all incentive to inovate. I am further saddened by the fact that we will never see improvements in browsers, now that MSFT has destroyed Netscape. Lets hope Jason excel in his new job and blow the competition away. Ramsey
