I was really referring to Gates when I stated MS had a lack of innoivation. (But there was that 'innovative' programmer that put in encryted code in a beta of Windows3 that would crash the system if the OS was DRDOS and not MSDOS).

And "There is no one at MS that is innovative." Surely, THAT is not true. They hire lots of young, bright graduates who haven't got a life yet and are willing to devote most of their time to the company for a bunch of years. (If they DO have a life, long shorts-and-sneaker-clad work days and nights will put a big squeeze on it.) I've been using Windows 98 for awhile now...and I'm wondering what's different from my Windows 95. Well I do the difference...my Windows 95 machine doesn't crash every day when I use Internet Explorer. One would think that 98 and IE4 would work perfectlt together...but it DOES NOT. The reason why 98 lacks anything new is because they've copied all that's possible. -Eddie
