You may be right for now, but I think AOL is looking a few years down the road. This rat-race economy cannot be sustained. America is "car and mall" happy, and small businesses still
Agreed, the only thing keeping our economy going right now are the outrageously over-speculated tech stocks. The bottom will fall out of this, I can guarantee it, probably after the new year. As you say, the "jig will be up." I think AOL sees the opportunity to unseat Microsoft and they're going for the kill. They have the Internet customer base, and Netscape/Sun has the OS/development/system type stuff. I think that if AOL succeeds, the "open source" world will thankfully lose a lot of its innocence and realize it isn't Microsoft explicitly that we hate, but any huge corporation that is in their position. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
