If anything, I see it increasing. > I agree with Terry here. Even if M$ has to install 40 computers to replace 12, they will do so. They can't afford not to, for their image of invincibility. I do not, however, believe they will ever be able to beat FBSD or Solaris technically, unless they rewrite their OS in a kernel/X-GUI configuration. It doesn't matter how many progs and $$$ they throw at it, ain'na gonna happen. M$ ease of use is predicated upon having multiple ways to accomplish something, and all those events need testing and handling. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ _________ ___==__ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde dwilde1@thuntek.net [ = = ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo---oo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
