there is that	by roadhog	2007-10-22 21:01:12
But I am old enough to remember whan an OS was a raw OS and did not cost very much, and you had to buy other sofware off the shelf including memory managers and disk compression tools. I am not sure we want to go back to those dark old days. But if i wanted XP then I would prefer to pay purely for XP and not for IE WMP XBOX XBOX360 SQL server ... Which is essentially what is happening. I would like to see microsoft split only to stop it leveraging it's monopoly. If the leveraging the monopoly can be prevented another way then that is good too. I think windows will be a monopoly operating system for a long time to come. I don't think letting that monopoly move into the application sphere is a good thing. If apple was in the position that microsoft was in the would take the saem approach. If the approach was taken with microsoft I would expect it to be extended to apple and the *nixs. But there is little point complaining about fleas when there is a 900 kg gorilla destroying your house. regards
