Much of what Rex asserts is by its very nature difficult to prove. However, I've never found him far off-base on any issue of fact that could be independently verified, and most of the rest seems entirely consistent with actions and attitudes Microsoft itself admitted (actually bragged about) in court. Given the number of Microsoft propagandists in this forum, I'm certain that anything Rex says that is factually incorrect will be refuted. Meanwhile, I'm quite tickled by the fact that Linux seems to be growing far beyond what even he could have predicted just a few years before. Joe
