``If Mr. Nader took a close look at the software industry, he would find that no one delivers more technology at affordable prices to empower consumers worldwide,'' an unidentified Microsoft spokeswoman told the Journal.

Affordable prices. More like highway robbery because of a monopoly... and it's free if you are trying to blow away a competitor like netscape. Open source will do them in the end but it is going to take a decade or so.

From where I sit, the Open Source Wacktovists seem to be digging their own grave which is good. I look forward to a future where I will be able to buy quality, easy-to-use software that does what I want it to do and where I will hardly ever have to think about the O/S.

Right now, I have just about gone mad trying to figure out how to install stuff on LUNIX. If going from a Ford to a Dodge where as wacked out as going between Solaris, AIX, and linux, it really would be unsafe at any speed.

LUNIX is all about making the routine impossible. Which is a very liberal thing.
