Is MSIE part of the OS, or just an application? :) I'd say app, but the DOJ
disagree's with me. That line is VERY blury (like my head at the moment -
see previous post)

would be nice. What I dont get tho - why has noone taken the linux kernel
(which is rather nice), dumped all the unix crap (ie, the file system, X
windows etc) and made a BeOS-alike in the same way people do with Mach. I
think it would be rather good, tho a lot of work. Hell, even just throwing X
away and putting in a REAL GUI would do.

much reading material.
