That seems pretty far fetched. Why do it so publicly? If you are into conspiracy theories, heres one for you: It seems more likely to me that Novell caught Microsoft with some GPL code in Vista the day before it went to production and the big hurry up was all about getting SOMETHING in place so that Vista could ship. Then they can work to replace it via normal update means later. I don't buy the Oracle response theory, cuz Microsoft has no product that is competitive with Oracle anyway, so why would they have to respond to that. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
