or until the next anti-trust lawsuit against ms also names every hardware vendor that does not make drivers available for all os. hmmmm logitech, nvidia, panasonic, epson, canon, gee that's just listing a few off the top of my head. bet we could actually win, since the hardware manufacturers are promoting the microshot only world that is illegal by all applicable laws. ( by not making drivers available for all os, they are removing options for use of thier hardware, promoting use of ms only.... hey, that's why they are doing it, to take ms down completely as they are the only os being supported by hardware vendors. ) ( Leon, feel free to quote this in any comunique to any hardware vendor ;-) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Protect your PC from local E-Mail Application security holes*** ***Maintain your Privacy - Passport Free*** ***Anti SPAM "Whitelist" feature*** http://www.x-mail.net Web Based E-Mail, accessible anywhere Voice Messages, Voice Calls, Live Chat, X-Mail Messenger, Personal Web Hosting, 128 bit SSL Secure, Calendar, Bookmarks, Forwarding, Virtual Mail Map Aliasing X-Mail Premium: 20MB Messages, 100MB Storage, POP3, Ad Free
