My favorite is MS stealing the TV listing software idea from a small
sofware company in Penn. They are including their own version in Win98. I
saw this on some TV news show. MS had some flunky on stating that TV
program listing software is a "logical extension of the operating system
since many computer users watch TV". Many computer users beat off too. Why
doesn't MS bundle spank material into their copies of Win98?
