It's absolutely out of date.

You have to understand that these decisions are market driven. We're on that way to be there, but I agree not fully there. But we're working on that. > Since it appears you work at HP, you may want to bring up to management > that there are people _looking_ to spend money on laptops that won't > until MS isn't rammed down their throats. (I think the hardware thing, > like winmodems and such, is at the next level). We are well aware of that, and as I said working the issue.

If I would not be willing to take other peoples opinions on this and try to explain why things are as they are (at least at HP) I would not be on this list or pretty quiet about the fact that I work for a certain company. I didn't take this as a flame or offense. Honest opinions are always welcome :). bye mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
