This is the kicker We have 4 computers in a house that has three people
living in it. :) We have a couple of older machines a 486/33 16meg/350MB
drive, a 486/66 16meg/500MB drive, both are using win95 as the OS. A P90
24meg/2GB drive running linux and X-windows, a P166 32meg/8GB drive also
running win95 (Might stick NT workstation on this one) but that is still
a microsoft product. :) as you stated the good folks who make the mass
marketed OS's are not loosing money over the one machine that is running
main stream products.
