I appreciate your zeal, but don't bet on it.  As long as Mr. Gates 
has blinkers on, your plea will fall on deaf ears.

I'd like to see a good, third-party m. asm. come out that doesn't
use Microsoft or Borland anything.  

You know what happens to people who buy operating systems and compilers
from potential competitors.  When they need support, they get 
the chromium-plated shaft!!
