Re: M$ gets a free 'get out of jail card' Re: New SxS ?
ennis I agree with you, but I think, & my opinion only, that a break up of M$ would do more harm to Unix/Linux. That Apps-DEV sw being free from the OS, would allow for the migration of apps to Unix/Linux OS's. Yes Linux would boom as Winders people came over to use M$ apps that would work & run the same as Winders. The problem would be the quality of the sw would ruin Linux/Unix. The winders OS would evently die just like OS2. cheers -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Caldera Open Linux eWorkStation 3.1 Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: M$ gets a free 'get out of jail card' Re: New SxS ?
This is bigger than our inclinations. The NY TIMES had a glowing review of windows XP. GLOWING. The important message is that to run it any computer two years old will be too slow (memory hog, cpu needful). So, the PC industry is hoping that windows XP will be the "must have" app that will ignite sales again. Certainly, a bunch of people like us using a low overhead OS like linux will never do anything to ignite PC sales. To delay windows XP because of some lapses in good conduct by certain MS$ executives might cost many people their jobs and hurt the reelection chances of some politicians.
