They actually brought mediocrity at a time when there were better solutions but nobody got sacked for buying IBM. Since then you might argue they have improved and now produce some excellent products - that's debateable but you have to see M$ products in comparison with other products on other platforms developed on far smaller budgets and then say objectively that they are excellent. To me many are not too bad but hardly excellent. Objective enough? > Please quiet you spleens and try to be constructive with your criticism. > You will live longer. I intend to live for quite a while yet thanks :-) Does being constructive mean I have to agree with you? -- Ian
