MrKim and others, you talk about the corporate goal of Microsoft being $$$$$$$$$. Well DUH! That's what businesses are there for! Even businesses who are good citizens are out to make money, What it comes down to is what they are prepared to sacrifice and/or do to make that money. I do agree that Microsoft appears to put selling more product ahead of making a quality product that meets customer needs (at least at times). You need to remember though that techy geeks are only a small part of Microsoft's total OS market. You also need to remember that despite their own egos, Microsoft don't have a total monopoly on OS software and there are alternatives out there.
