I've noticed, beleive me, and the sheer weight of the microsoft marketing
apparatus is enough to cause concern among unix vendors. I am personally
in favor of open systems, and for that reason, I don't want to see bill
gates succeed in his efforts to kill unix. "Bob" may be cute, but an all
microsoft world would be a nightmare for many.

I just hope it's not too late for the unix community to get it together and 
create a plausible alternative to the redmond juggernaut...

 Microsoft is not the answer - Microsoft is the question; the answer is NO!
