McGovern?

Crap, you are correct. It seems I pulled a Bloomberg (read about United
Airlines this AM for the reference). I have seen numbers quoted for 1Q 2008
of WM sales a 4.5 million and iPhone sales of 1.8 million.
There are dozens of WM smart phones,

Which was exactly my original point. You seemed to have missed that.

I didn't think I was being nasty at all; far less than Herr Doctor
usually is. It was a poke at Betty and what I know of her
predilections as to computers.
I also know that she prefers Nokia phones, so it really had nothing to

Jeff has been thoroughly re-educated. Microsoft is double-plus good!
Maybe Jeff got excited by the kinky new M$ ads.
ugh..don't say kinky in reference to bill gates.

It's *Apple* that has maintained a proprietary OS these many years,
requiring a dongle to run (a computer). You can install any version of

Vista is hardware agnostic- if the hardware meets the specs.
MAC OSX is pickier but yields a more consistent experience given the
limited number of platforms it runs on. Going MAC eliminates some of the
weirder PC problems even if you only run Vista on it.
