Not exactly greed, IMO. Tell me Phil, what do you do for a living? Now, consider that somewhere along the line someone is paying you to do what you do. Are you being greedy for wanting to be paid? If you aren't, how does this apply to Microsoft (or Apple, Oracle, Sun, or even SuSE - they offer the proprietary Applixware, among other things)? Greed would be charging $1,000 for Windows 98. just my two cents... -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.

Hi everyone,
followed this thread for a while.
For me the fundamental differences I have seen are: Linux (all versions) based on sharing, M$ Windoze (all versions) based on greed.
Just seems this way to me.
I just think you are a troll. Learn some about CS and operating systems. Come back in a while when Bill doesn't have you under his voodoo magic.
Jack,
I'm not a troll. I've been using Linux for 7 years and I have a 1st class degree in Comp Sci. I think I know what I'm talking about, and I also know when I *don't* know stuff, which is more than can be said for a lot of people.
What actually caused my original post was when I saw that Windows 98 (I think, maybe NT or W2K) does what we call IP masquerading. It seems that Microsoft is catching up with the system level power of Linux and slowly erradicating our advantages. This worries me.
If you think this is also a troll, kindly keep your mouth shut and let others make constructive comments.
