It's interesting isn't it. There is a real and true revolution coming again in the IT community. Just as big as the revolution that gave us affordable desktop PCs in the first place. This is another one, and those of us who were in the industry in the late 70's when the big wars between IBM and "the world" started regarding who could reverse engineer a BIOS chip and make a clone.....well, I see this thing about open source vs MS starting out exactly the same way. Exactly. And back in those days......we won, eventually. And suddenly you didn't have to build a computer if you wanted one, you could buy one. And you didn't have to buy an IBM PC junior for $3,000, you could buy a clone for $1,000. And then the real revolution began..........it was beautiful. And it's ironic that because we won against IBM, MS became another IBM.
Drop the Passport like you would a trangient with tuberculosis. If you have anything on a system that's under the passport - move it. I keep posting links about the shifty/scarry things M$ is doing. This S#$t should scare you. Now maybe you'll understand why guys like me and Fred keep posting these seemingly pointless articles. They're an attempt to give the users a broad picture of what's "really" on the horizon. M$ really has corporate "illusions" of grandeur! When you start to look at all the pieces and put them into context it would scare and bother any reasonable person. Dump the passport ASAP. Cheers. Curtis On Monday 04 June 2001 03:32 pm, S.
