At what point is something considered adequate? If no other company is/was
able to stand up to microsoft's marketing... (which is how microsoft
became, and maintains it's success).. if customers weren't buying OS/2 or
DRDOS to a degree that would have made a diffrence.. why should microsoft
be sued? they won! for a while they have won.. in compition sometimes
someone WINS...
