FWIW, dood, MS is an arrogant reflection of an arrogant boss..
he got lucky..
now he wants power..
MS is like a teenager.. when they are good they dazzel you with their
brilliance..
but
when bad, one really has a difficult time supressing urge to choke the life
out of 'him'..
i really wish IBM would regenerate OS/2.. and put it on thinkpads like they
did some years ago..
OS/2 is there, still..
what MS (and gates) needs is a good dose of competition they can't buy..
as far as a EULA, since i am forced to accept it and i did not sit down to
negotiate the terms, it is not a contract or agreement, it is a dictatorial
order and thus unenforceable..
(okok, it may be enforceable, just don't burst my little bubble<g>)
