I doubt it. People don't use Microsoft products because of their quality or functionality.
This is for single user home based UNIX systems.
Single-user UNIX isn't all that useful. Linux and FreeBSD are both free, and come with source code. You can get "commercial" versions of Linux for around $30 (that's on CDROM). You can get support for Linux, and probably for FreeBSD. -- Eric Murray ericm@lne.com ericm@motorcycle.com http://www.lne.com/ericm PGP keyid:E03F65E5 fingerprint:50 B0 A2 4C 7D 86 FC 03 92 E8 AC E6 7E 27 29 AF

Oh so carefully worded PR BS: "It also represents the first time in more than 20 years that the owner of UNIX technology has provided the operating system free of charge to the public" Note "owner of UNIX technology" They make it sound like noone without a multimillion dollar budget could ever get UNIX before. What a crock. It's good to see them making it free, but there are far better free system already IMO (Linux, FreeBSD, etc). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeremey Barrett Senior Software Engineer jeremey@forequest.com The ForeQuest Company http://www.forequest.com/ PGP Key fingerprint = 3B 42 1E D4 4B 17 0D 80 DC 59 6F 59 04 C3 83 64 PGP Public Key: http://www.forequest.com/people/jeremey/pgpkey.html "less is more." -- Mies van de Rohe. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMiR7gy/fy+vkqMxNAQFPegP/fDvA1APnMMDvOYh2aI/cXBQZQrkQMnT8 rAIB239qzZVbvFPY3iqNvHMlb3M3j+8BkDm+7QkYi5fepPwKgmMsslQy6HAzdAzX KKPX38zfrPnqmGsrESSJElyKFXrk76w0NGme0UDPAAvPv3uPFZCueZzY/siHiRLe 2d4IEJCIQ0Q= =yLBM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
