Okay, then I'll add another.  LAWYERS...

How else do You explain the so-called "penalty" for being convicted of a
monopoly somehow having the clause that MicroSoft will "donate" (something
like) a half-billion dollars of PCs and Windoze to Primary Schools...?
(Thus, gaining share in one-a the few remaining marketspaces that Apple
dominates.)


Still, there are ALWAYS going to be some technical advantages to one OS or
another...

But none, imo, has the INTELLIGENT DESIGN in it that CPF/OS/400 had
architected into it from the VERY BEGINNING.  Nonetheless, one thing the
other OSs have is market awareness, which SURE DOES factor into the success
or failure of the OS, significantly.


You have gained skills in all 3 major OSs, Don, (and Mac OS-X is going the
way of the *nixes) so Your perspective is sure interesting...!

Was also curious, did You pick up any interesting tidbits at the recent
pSeries conference...?
