The government totally caved in on the antitrust settlement. The general consensus in the software community is that after Sept. 11 the government is more interested in spyware than in antitrust. We believe that the deal the feds cut was that MS would be allowed to skate as long as the feds were allowed to spy all they want. Windows XP is full of back doors and reporting functions. They want us moved to their spyware systems as soon as possible to please the feds. Welcome to the brave new world. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +Chase Kimball ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), nom de Plum "Lord Brancaster" aka +"Hannibal" in the Quake Clan "Zero Tolerance."
