   Because for some of us it's not a religious question, and neither 
Intel nor MS are Satan.  Even Microsoft is only a problem when they 
occupy production hardware.

   MS will abandon  I enough people move off MS computers, *and* enough 
people buy XBoxes, production computing that much faster.  If you look 
at it in terms of profit focus, Gary actually *contributed* to the 
demise of Windows by buying the XBox.
