Microsoft cuts questioning of expert short in trial biz.yahoo.com ''If you continue to pursue this line of questioning it simply appears to be inviting him to make a careless mistake,'' Jackson said.

If competition to Explorer is removed progress slows to a Microsoft dictated crawl. Also think the Sun/Oracle specialized DataBase box is a good idea if it's priced right. I haven't read the release specs but the SQL language is pretty well defined and I suspect the whole control program could be on an EPROM and flashed the same way a PC's BIOS is now. The idea of a specialized box for critical operations means greater performance (no 20 million lines of extra baggage just to run the file system) mission critical performance (for the same 20 million reason) faster upgrade cycles (the same argument Netscape uses for the stand alone browser). You know simplicity pays. A good example would be E=MC^2. Microsoft "innovative" version would be about 20 pages. Harvey
