Neither do I butat the moment the computing world is based on their standards
rightly or wrongly. I justt think if we don't keep up we'll just get left
behind. But otherwise I agree with you most MS inventions have simply been eye
candy and of no practical use. Eg. all the silly ne fangled embedded animation
types and sound types their building in to web sites these days. They serve no
practical purpose what so ever. But unfortunately for us we get locked out of
those sites because our browsers can't cope with those formats. But that's why I
say we could do with keeping up with at least the main elements. Until we once
again rule the world of computing. :-)
