Welll...we have NT here at home....we tried...Linnux also.... and what they say about Linnux is true...very nice...and stable...but you have to really "know your stuff"..since it is built upon a UNIX style platform...... Linnux is a problem...for NT...but certainly...will not replace it in the short term.... if anything....it might be helpful in this case...just as the AOL/NSCP merger is..... proves the point...that any other technology...can "rise" and come to the batting plate..... which if MSFT were a monopoly........could not happen.... the DOJ can't have it both ways....calling MSFT a monopoly/non-monoploy.....at the same time..... smile....Mary

I was just trying to teas someone !! So take it easy and do not be too serious. Business as usual after the trial !!I have never heard of Linux before, and do not expect the corp IT will run the risk of retraining its employee by switch to Linux Nothing will happen. As toLinux, I have said long ago it will be a threat more to Sunw than to MSFT, that is why Sunw wants to adapt Linux before it grows too big. I think you still remember Paul Allen is the founder of Linux, he will Linux to cut the air supply of SUNW
