Give Me a Break! Microsoft is not going to sue individuals. They might consider a large business that they see as a threat to their market share. Microsoft will consider any law suit very carefully because it could come back to bite win or lose because they could file a law suit against their own customers, that is not good business. There are a lot of people out there making attempts to educate the Microsoft masses of the tactics that Microsoft uses to hook their customers into staying with them instead of going to better products. -- http://webpages.charter.net/jlgates Visit http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great PCLinuxOS experience --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
