Yes we could talk about old OSs like WIN95 which is now what??? As old as lets's say LINUX??? And how many people rushed out to get LINUX (for free even!) opposed to the one's that bought Winxx . Is there enough support (or money) to make LINUX compete for a desktop OS position??? Get real! You need real money to develop, to market and to support an OS. In order to do that you have to convince the masses that it's USABLE! Let alone hope that software companies will follow your lead. Kinda like Ellison's NC or for that matter Oracle as a whole. Just ask ten people
off the street if they can spell Oracle let alone LINUX. Then, if they can, ask them what they are. Ask the same people about Winxx and compare the results!       Received on Thu Oct 15 1998 - 13:39:27 CDT
