Quite true though that was a fat OS and a fat browser. They also put quite a lot of money into Windows Terminal Server.

This is free-market capitalism at its finest. Microfuzzy holds an oligopoly on OS software. Its only serious competition to date is Apple, which arguably produces a superior product, but limits adoption by insisting on proprietary hardware. This allows MS to market crap. Having just survived a malware attack that my McAfee didn't prevent or even detact and reading about viruses that can download kiddy-porn on your computer and get you arrested, I long for a popular version of Linux that will attract developers. I would have abandoned Windoze long ago if Tradestation had an Apple version.
