I heard there is a $10M bounty out for the arrest of Osama Bin Laden.
Isn't that the same amount of money that was put on Salman Rushdie's head by Khomeni?

Osama Bin Laden is NOT a billionaire.
Much of his assets were frozen by the Saudis when they disowned him.
He inhereted approximately $250M when his father died. Bin Ladens father was a Saudi construction tycoon who made his money rebuilding in formerly war torn middle east cities.
For some interesting reading you might want to lookup other pieces of Bin Ladens history such as his involvement in the resistance to the USSR occupation of Afghanistan. Also what countries gave support to this resistance. Cross check that list of countries with the list that helped the Iraqi military buildup during the rise of the America hating Iatollah Khomeni in Iran.
I'm sure this has already been resolved, MS just had to find the registry key and change the setting to load the Kodak software rather than the default MS software.
There are lots of things to bitch MS out about, but this is a long reach from being a newsworthy issue.

I had the same wait time when I pre-ordered my Handspring Visor, it was well worth the wait.
It was the longest 6-8 weeks of my life though!
