Steve, >>How many times has this thing been owned by different folks now. IBM is the last one that we needed to get into UNIX IMHO. I would like UNIX so much more if it was standard..<< So would lots of companies, like IBM. That's why they will keep giving it a try. One big problem UNIX has had is that it's been far ahead of DOS/WinXX, that they felt unthreated. Now, UNIX forces are forced to consolidate. A whole lot of $$ for any company that can find the secret to compete against MSFT successfully. I think LINUX is also giving some companies encouragement. If nothing else, LINUX is a totally different way to deveop/distribute software, so some will look at the lessons to be learned. Of course, MSFT will look at those lessons, and will improve their own situation accordingly. IMO, MSFT has way too many smart people to be threatened. If anything, MSFT has a monopoly on smart people. DOJ should investigate that:-) joe
