come on...i suggest that perhaps he was just wrong on this one. The Gartner group predicted OS/2 would be the leading networking software vs. NT and Netware by the year 2000 - im not so sure this is going to happen. Geez - your pretty gullible if you listen to a guy named Ed Yander. hey look - Im bill gates!

gosh - its not even as if there products are any good! " Microsoft database loses records " news.com focus quote of the day.. "This is by far the most heinous and destructive bug I have ever seen," a developer said one posting. Others warned that the flaw may easily go undetected in many applications and have openly questioned whether Access should be use used for commercial applications until it is repaired. " now lets see - access has been around for 10 years and its viability for commercial applications is questioned. Whats Microsoft going to do next to try and convince the world that their products are "Enterprise Class" - try to run a battleship on NT?.....woops!

Robert, Calling me a fraud is a bit harsh (IMHO of course) and of course it all depends on how you define the term fraud. For my OMG comment to you back in September of last year, I was simply stating what I had come to believe through my work related contacts with IBM and the R&D and technical management team that I had come to contact with at IBM. Obviously things did not happen as I had come to percieve. But then as human beings perception does not always become reality! (And to give you an example just look at the huge loss I just realized with CYBG and how my perception of CYBG's reality a few months ago failed me). If you define fraud as someone who expresses his/her opinion based on what he/she comes to percieve and believe to be the truth based on how he/she "interprets" the data that is given to him and yet his expression of opinion does not come into reality, then I think most (if not all) of us at one point or another have been and will continue to be nothing but fraud.
