If we're going to go down that road... MS-DOS was purchased from Seattle Computer Products. Win NT was so much like VMS that DEC sued MSFT; they settled out-of-court. IE was originally based on Spyglass Mosaic. MS-SQL was originally based on Sybase's database server product. I seem to recall reading that many of the bits that became Exchange were purchased from 3Com. My memory might be wrong on that, tho. Microsoft Bob, however, was developed entirely in-house. ;-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
