Just because Rex writes a lot doesn't mean he's correct. I'm
not a Microsoft advocate in any way and have been a Unix-type
for the last twenty years or so and have lived through a lot
of what Rex writes about. He's always seems to put a spin on
what happened although recently he's been getting a little
better (less crap, more fact).  He's in the right direction
but some of the inferences and "facts" he uses are just
plain wrong.
