>>Interesting theory - but since I myself don't feel like starving to death I have to use MS products. What it boils down to is you have to be compatiable with the rest of the world, and for that matter for the most part I like MS products. Doesnt mean that they're not immoral - and last time I checked the USA Justice Dept. had a few things to say about Microsoft's behavior.

>>Yep!

Indeed I agree there a jobs out there for Orcale (which I know), etc...but heck 90% of the time you even have to send your resume in MS Word Format. Face it...if your in the computer biz you're NOT going to have a choice, you're going to HAVE to have some type of MS knowledge and products. Unless you want to work on mainframes or something you're never going to find a job without some MS skills, right?..and for that matter even those people are going to shy away from you.
and yes it's somewhat hypocritical - hense the term "monopoly"!
