Ärende: Re: Thomas Hazlett: Is Microsoft toast?
===============================================
From: Adam Flinton <adam@NOSPAM_softfab.com>


Amusing where linux is the elephant in the fridge for both of them <G>

Odd (if you consider it) that linux can compete on the pc with ms & on ppc with
osx....
