no I meant that with the IBM deal back when they were first in the PC-DOS market for IBM PC's and Clones.
The deal to license MS-DOS instead of sell it to IBM was the cause of ALL of this. DOS compatibility was the ball to chase then. If you're PC Clone didn't run DOS it was dead (Apricot springs to mind). MS has always run with the ball shimmying and handing off all the way to the ever exending goal line and at the same time setting the rules of the game, buying the other teams players & staff etc (sorry this metaphor is getting laboured).
MS products are mostly crap once you can use a computer.

I had a similar problem with my touch screen Windows only driver.
I got an old 486 ans used it on that. I then connected to my other machines via VNC and was able to use the touch sensitive bit with Unix & plan9.
Another benefit is you can use any windows compatible VGA card too.
If you use soemthing beefier than a 486 you could run WeirdX (http://www.jcraft.com/weirdx/) which is a Java X Client
Another benefit is playing mp3s in Windows so you don't use those valuable cycles - no more choppy sound! .oO0Oo.

i belive it's called first to market not marketing
.oO0Oo.
hehe I see this kind of comment :
.oO0Oo.
Poster A : Mozilla sucks
Poster B : You should see last night's build - awesome
one month later
A : Mozilla sucks
Poster B : You should download last night's build
and so the treadmill continues
you are joking?
.oO0Oo.

I meant having 5.1 (or rather 5.00.3315.1000!)and 5.5 as parallel released products and then service packs for them both.
....
.oO0Oo.
There's no real explanation of the difference except corporate conservatism in moving to 5.5 but if they are the same product
well this is probably how /. ers would expect MS to go. With the usual MS model of release and then service pack the old one while working n the new.
.oO0Oo.
IE 5.5 i mean come on, everyone knows it's not going to work until at least service pack 2 or three.
MS Security is a bit of a joke. I onlyhope my firewall will help me most of the time. Any day I sit down I expect to have been owned.
There shouldn't be any market niche for Virus checkers!
well if it's syntacticals then which came first not the chicken
.oO0Oo.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
.oO0Oo.
The chicken
sorry but it was the egg. The genus caleld chicken evolved from other egg laying avians so the egg came first before thu mutation of Chicken

Well, as vegetarians prefer to torture animals to drink their juices and wear their hair I think you should go back to the cruelty free drawing board.
.oO0Oo.
the only animals we have ever empathised with, as a species, are apes and monkeys.
I'm not sure who the "we" is here. Medical science uses all sorts of monkey and ape experiments, heck it even uses homo-sapiens when it can.
thing is IE isn't a browser
.oO0Oo.
it's an appliaction platform almost akin to a little OS.
And I'll gladly bet ya $5 there are thousands of Linux machines running vulnerable Bind in small web shops and on hosted machines in ISPs.
in the UK hackers, crackers and phreakers are prosecuted for the crime fo "theft of electricity" when the computer misuse act doesn't get them
.oO0Oo.
so does Green for Go mean "close the window" and Red means "I want to Stop on this page so maximise it" ;-)

Editors, Directors, Reporters and the participants all censor themselves and others too.
