Well, of course it's ridiculous. The thing that astonishes me the most is not that MS have the gall to assert such a thing but that some people actually believe the assertion true. It's as if MS single-handedly invented computing and came down the mountain with the ten commandments (never mind they regularly break most of said commandments...) K -- Demographic polls show that you have lost credibility across the board. Especially with those 14 year-old Valley girls. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
