How can it be "tied closely to the OS" without being tied into the kernel.
In fact, every bit of software that does not run on a virtual machine is very much tied closely to the OS on which it runs. Only things like device drivers and file system modules are in the kernel (and even they need not be a part of the kernel per se).
well... What Microsoft said is that the OS is tightly linked to IE, so they can't remove IE :-) and I've seen a *mouse* driver requiring IE as dependency... (I beg it was for the help system, but who knows :-)) discussion on the lack of security of windows is endless. and vista is funny on this respect. every single operation need to be acnowledged twice by the user, so nobody read the popup anymore, it could be "your are going to die", the user whould clic OK anyway :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
