Is your theory that if you miss out the pesky link words that the reply will be so short that I don't notice the yawning great gaps in your logic?

You really do need to study this subject a little more closely before making such ill thought out comments. If your logic was followed we would not have GSM, digital TV, the Internet etc etc.

Microsoft's once total grasp on the desktop is slipping away increasingly fast. Macs are making a resurgence. Linux is rising hard. It goes like that in the IT industry. Once the first pebble slips off, the whole scree goes with it. Viz Big Blue.

Finally, your amazing assertion that if you don't pay a license fee for a piece of software then you cease to exist. If you like I can dig up a raft of links to articles about the mounting number of public bodies who have turned over their server AND desktop to Linux. I'm sure the folks who sign in every day on a Linux desktop would be a little confused by your assertion. Me? I just wonder how much Microsoft UK is paying you .. and whether they want a little more in terms of cogent argument for their money.
