Hi!
You guys aren't focusing on the real problem!!!

We should NOT want any "OS" to winn any war!!!???

The perfect solution is that we have platform-independent programs
such as word processors and so on!!!

This will make it possible for everyone to choose a platform that suits him/her!

Now on the other hand MS has monopoly (almost) and this is _not_ good
in any sence since they virtually can control your entire life in the end.

Standards are great, monopolies aren't!!!

Regards

David
