This is posted with out completely reading all the above, but i will save and do so ... but on first glance
well, no offence cuddles, but you do tend to write a novel... no offence... if offence taken, you can always punch me...

oh, i just remembered this, but a friend told me... (this was when i was young about 5 or so)... that M$ didnt do too well when it first came out because of dos... dont know if its true or not...


also... the only original thing that came out of microsoft last was the task bar... the only last original idea that came out of them... they didnt compleate the new file system (the one with instant search) because they know they cant do it because no one else has done it before, the new 3D style desktop, taking away from MAC!!! GRRR!!! *turns into hulk*...

i recon there has to be come originality somewhere...
