It sounds like Microsoft is moving the internet on step closer to becoming the new OS to which all other computers and OSs must connect, and Microsoft would love to own/control it all. LOL #----------------------- Excerpt from the replies: Let's forget about all the microsoft-hating here, assume that it somehow manages to turn out to be a great OS. Fine. What then? Everything can by micropayments, down to every last click, every bit of data used. Microsoft is your ISP, runs your email, houses all your data, runs all your applications, does all processing for your computer. You don't have to worry about data security - someone already has ALL of it. It has it's plusses, like no more worrying about upgrading your videocard to run crysis III (you just pay more to use "premium" graphic power). I just find it REALLY hard to trust ANY company that much. #------------------------- Regards, LelandJ > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
