This has been occuring for the past 3 or 4 issues. If you read the letters to the editor in each of the past 3 issues, you'll see quite a lot of (mostly) negative feedback on the ads. THe reasoning is quite obvious. Ad sales have all but dried up over the past year. Compare the number of pages in Linux Mag (or even Linux Journal) from a year ago to today, and you'll see its been halved. M$ has deep pockets, and if they want to throw advertising dollars towards Linux Mag, i doubt they'll refuse. Personally, the ads dont' bother me. For M$ ads, they're not bad at all. They're about as targetted as they could be for M$. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
