It's for your own good. Somehow I wish I could still live in that kind of happy, blissful world. Where businesses really give stuff away for free and consumers have zero part in paying for it. Even my kids stopped believing in that around 5 or 6 as I taught them to figure out ads and commercials. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Bundling... So? What is wrong with that? That *is* competition and it still goes on today in other markets. Short-sited thinking, but consistent with Jeff's MO. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

I don't expect Silverlight to work any better than most of its other lackluster products, but I do expect to see them put extraordinary pressure on Adobe to replace good PDFs and animation with the usual M$ shoddy afterthought products. MS did get Adobe to give up its crown jewels, PostScript type, and adopt the problematical MS-developed Open Type format. The color space default for Photoshop, sRGB, is also all wrong, but Adobe went along because MS insisted they had to in order to get a Works with Windows sticker on their box. Etc, etc. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
