No kidding. The days of the "evil empire" are marked. When a company has to resort to buying politicians to "tweak" laws you know they have a crappy product and system design. Most people still use windows because they don't know anything else exists, but thats changing VERY fast. Before long *nix will pwn the computer market ;-)

Cheers,

Josh
