>>> The Digital Equipment executives said that the company disbanded a product development group based here after Gates told Robert Palmer, who at the time was Digital's chief executive, that a product the group was developing with a Microsoft rival, Oracle Corp., would threaten an earlier deal for Microsoft to develop a version of its industrial-strength Windows NT operating system for Digital's powerful new processor. <<< Gee whiz, I'm new to this, but that sounds to me like using monopoly pressure in one business to try to create a monopoly in another business. I would think that would be illegal! ;-) BTW, would that have been the long-dead NT for Alpha? (As a long sneer for Robert Palmer crosses my face.) Cheers, Chaz
