if IBM decides to do what so many people have been suggesting

you mean buy Wordperfect and Open Source it Like Sun Did? Boy, I just wish!! WordPerfect is the ONLY Wordprocessor, which is as good as M$Word!(maybe even Better!) and has really good import/export filters. Well, a guy can dr3am can't he?

Re:And MacOS X?

On: Ballmer Claims Linux Is Top Threat To MS

well, the only way for Microsoft to die a quick but agonizing death would be for Apple to GPL MacOS X, but I REEEEEAAALLY don't think it's going to happen. Though if it did MS would really be FSCKed!. ....sigh...but it aint gonna happen..

What Linux on Dreamcast could mean

On: Dreamcast Runs Linux

1)Using an embeded version of konqueror/netscape
2)Using a mini embeded version of Koffice
3)Beeing able to use an embeded cut down Xserver on dreamcast thus making it into an Xterminal
I don't know about you, but I think the above features REALLY upgrade the value of a DreamCast!

But what i would like to see is a Distribution for PSX2, since that puppy will have a Hard disk as well, I don't see why it can't be used as a normal mini PC, somthing like the i-opener perhaps?

Why?

On: Open-Source Netware-Aware OS Under Construction

Why make all the trouble in creating a brand new OS , when they can create a distro of their own from any Open source OS they like and plug in GOOD Netware support in that! Isn't it really a waste of resources? (IMHO it is)

Re:Break it UP...(how to do it)

On: Microsoft's Watered-down Version Of DOJ Remedy

I'm afraid that just breaking up the company to two competing ones, simply won't do , because at some point one will elliminate the other one and then we will have the same monopoly!. On the other hand if the company is split to two different ones, then they could colaborate (which IS legal, btw) so that they retain control over the market, and then NOONE will be able to stop them. The best way to do it, is to COMBINE the two solutions : break the company in two (one for the apps, and one for windows) and then SELL the code that the two companies own to two other companies (again one for windows and one for the apps). This could be done by auction, companies that take part in one auction would be automaticly exluded from the other one (so that no single one could have the ENTIRE codebase) and so we will have FOUR companies controlling windows, competing in pairs and forming different alliances. The companies that buy the code, should be forced not to reveal or sell it to another company for a five year period, but they could use it as they wish....
