Doesn't M$ have more than one competitor? And who is grabbing at
Amiga's new systems, though they aren't released yet, I haven't heard
of anybody trying to make any claims. This also means that we, Linux,
have more than one competitor, though the most stress is with M$.
Btw, I'm not a M$ buff, and I would very much like M$ to lighten up
on the marked, however it is done.
