Mr. Gerald Walls, <<Well, Mr. Cluefull, why don't you tell us why Sun's giving away their OS? Is it selling so well that they got tired of counting the money?>> Great comment!! Love it. Oh by the way, I use SUN equipment and their operating system and I know why they give it away. Thank you JK

Mr. Gerald Walls, <<MSFT never charged for IE if I remember correctly. That's completely different than deciding to give away a revenue-producing product because no one wants to pay for it.>> People forget that if MSFT didn't give away IE, they'd still be paying for Netscape. Thank You JK
