Hi all,

A lot of noise on the last M$ statements, but let me just ask you this 
question :

Is it normal that your OS+application programs,games etc... costs more than 
the material it works on ?

Continuing my reflexion, if all linux users could retribute only $5 of their 
M$ applications ( if in use of course ) to the linux developpers community, I 
am sure we will get all drivers to make things work.

Meanwhile, the M$ basis is still the desktop PC which finances the other 
developments. So I suggest Linux users could set up a Desktop database 
specifying :
    OS		Processor	MB		Material		file
say linux-SUSE	say PIII		say via		say NvidiaMX	/etc/X11/..

The file specifying the whole env. and a small setup explication. Each input 
taking +/- 3kb gzipped, x 100.10^6 = 300 GB ===> +/- 5-7 disks now.
That would help a lot the desktop users and maybe break the M$ power.

On the other hand by doing this can we be responsible of hundred thousends of 
lost jobs ?

Well, this was only a "I think"
Cheers,
Filip.
