"Why? Software is software." Hrm, shall we compare what the average application does in comparision to the averasge OS? C'mon, /P, I know your more intelligent than lumping all "software" together in one bundle. "So who said you had to stick with a PC all this time? The average family is prolly on their second or third computer by now, so it's not as if they're forced to remain with any particular architecture." Families are not the only, nor necessarily the largest, consumer of computer systems. Personally, I have chosen to remain with PCs because they can accomplish what I need them to, so why switch when something works? Perhaps I am one of the few "chosen ones" who has never had a serious problem with MS products, and thus my view is slightly jaded by the general stability and usability I find MS products to have, over other software products. "The reason MS got dragged into court had nothing to do with thier techincal competence, but with their monopolistic business practices." I see nothing in your previous posts that indicated we were talking about "techincal competence", just a comparision regarding how many people who use MS products complain vs CL products. MS has, time and again, been "the" public scapegoat for computer consumer complaints. MS' brush with the US Justice Department was the result of what? Several very vocal competitors complaining about how MS does business. Granted, I do not condone nor absolve MS of any wrong-doings, but had not such a furor arisen around MS' business practices by the consumers, whether they are commercial or private citizens, would the Justice Department have stepped up to the plate otherwise? MS has had pretty much a monopoly on the PC OS market since the DOS/Win 3.x days to the present. They have a history of "borrowing" from other companies and buying out or pressuring thier competition into submission. If that is not enough time for the Justice Department to act upon "monopolistic business practices", then I think that the Justice Department needs a severe overhaul to bring more nafarious corporate criminals to task before they all go bankrupt due to the embezzlement of CEOs and the like. === Now back to the topic at hand, currently in progress... ;0) I have not seen anything, other than Dan Farr's posts at PoserPros, that would indicate anything is happening on the EULA front. Of course, I took a few days off "Poserdom" to deal with RL again, so I have a couple days worth of backlog to clear.
