Mr. Bearded One, <<<1. A monopoly. 2. Going to come out of the goverment lawsuit pretty much unscathed. And these two statements don't seem a little contradictory to you?>>> IBM did it. <<<3. Coming out with NT5 next year. Lots of people (Gartner Group, Aberdeen Group, others) are saying 2000, perhaps 2001 before a usable version.>>> Since when has (Gartner Group, Aberdeen Group, others) been 100% correct all the time? Thank You JK

Just because they are a monopoly, it doesn't mean that the government will cause severe problems for them. I don't see anyone complaining about software prices. Microsoft's goal is to sell to every human being on the planet that can buy their software...repeatedly. Most companies have a similar goal but cannot execute. Right now I am perfectly content with Microsoft's place in the world (and I don't even own the stock...pity). I am a software developer. I specialize in Visual Basic. It's comforting to know that 90% of the world's PC's will be able to run any software that I write. It lets me do my job better, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Joe S.
