Because they COULD create a really nice product - giving linux REAL competition - but that won't happen. Having two really great OS's makes for great competition, and brings out the "dark horses" - pushing technology to become better and OS's to become better - but I doubt that game will happen. Microsoft is too "stuck in a rut" - and we all know what a "rut" really is - it's a grave with both ends knocked out. Microsoft is too fat'n'happy to create something for a change - although they're currently scared of loosing marketshare, it'll result only in lower prices, retrenchments in Microsoft departments and more advertising. -- Thu Jun 12 02:10:01 EST 2003 02:10:01 up 2:08, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.23, 0.17 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * America works less, when you say "Union Yes!"
