Chris Holland writes "Jeff Reifman, a columnist for Seattle Weekly, has written a toe-curling editorial analysis of Microsoft's past and current missed opportunities, contrasted with its financial success, while covering in fair depth some of the most serious threats to their business model.

    What the??? No one, I mean NO ONE would stick with Winblows 98 for it's stability. They must have a different standard for that in Seattle.
