what I'm about to say is related, in a stream of consciousness way... On CNBC today an analyst said Microsoft could lose 100% of its server business to Linux and it would only be a penny and a half of revenue -- out of something like 34 cents. They said it wouldn't matter to their financials a bit. I myself worked at Microsoft until one year ago today. I set out to switch my life to Linux in Feb. I'm a content monkey. But I still have my registered XP Pro partition I bought from the company store for $30 -- the price the market *should* bear for the quality -- were this a different world. Longhorn will be out approximately two years from this coming spring. If I can choose to avoid paying retail for it in twenty aught six, then I will know the worm has turned. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
