Well, I definitely need some mental help, but I'll save that for the alt.support ngs! No, no one forces you to (and I certainly never have), but most corporations use their products which means that if you work in an office you pretty much have to use Microsoft. Releasing incredibly bad products seems to me to be a pretty good reason for people to hate your company. The (illegal) destruction of good companies is also part of this equation. > Linux ?

You may be right, but then that's pretty much the same thing people said about the internet. If they can come up with a product for Linux that "Netscapes" it (or - perish the thought - "AOLs" it), there could be a lot of business/consumer interest. Leigh
