I have never seen any point in bothering to read anything from M$ that is not about their products. They pronounced the death of Sun as well. Obviously that hasn't come true. Further anyone who measures by market share has their head in the wrong place. You can have 99% market share and still be in the toilett technically and financially. In fact, consider that Packard Bell had over 30% market share when they went bankrupt. I just wonder why anyone bothers to read the stuff unless looking for some justification for their decision. I would sooner ask a used car salesman if the car on his lot is a good deal. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
