Ahm, but isn't that *exactly* what MS Excels (pun intended ;) at? Seriously, they've been late to *every* single part to hit the computing world: Windows X Windows and Macs had them long before MS Integrated Apps Gates has been quoted they'd never sell (I believe there was Star(Calc,word... back in the DOS days) Internet MSN is where the future was supposed to be Groupware Lotus Notes Downloadable music iTunes Web browsers Netscape Honestly, I can't think of single where MS has been first in anything. But from a business perspective, that's genius. Let everyone else make all the mistakes, spend all the time, effort, and money convincing the world this new thing is a great idea.

It's worked for them for the last almost 30 years, why stop now? -- Seeya, Paul _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
