IMNSHO, that's no threat. As long as the Winblows giveaway is temporary--and it must be, even for M$--IT people will simply see that freebee period as the calm before the storm. And M$ can make Winblows free, but not the rest of the software out there. Linux, on the other hand, will. > Let's hope that's another report that's wrong, because cost is *the* > big factor in too many decisions. If Linux and Windows are both free, people will likely start comparing on technical merits, and that'll put Winsux in an even worse position. Miark
