Unix still will play some key role in the Corporate mkt, but absolutely totally gone for the end user mkt. Seen any Unix applications in the computer store such as Comp USA? Even end user wants to use Unix, the cost of applications will be much much more expensive than Windows applications. Ever heard of Linux? It is growing at a phenomenal rate! And, FYI, its applications can be downloaded free of charge from the internet!! When is MSFT going to start doing that? Never! Linux rules.....free programs, open source, extremely robust (MSFT could only dream), networking to the core, one of a kind customer service. And they (i.e. the world) are working on making it easier for the end user (GNOME standard GUI?). BTW, loved the sentence fragments.... Sorry to get off topic.... JRH
