That's so poetically accurate, I've added it to my sig list. I've worked in a large tech corporation for many years, (20+) and I've relatively recently had to attempt to `open` some managerial minds, and discovered futility of it all. "A company's public perception is an invaluable asset, that must be dealt with kid gloves" (not to mention managerial politics and positioning) P.S. Yes, I think that Microsoft does have some of the better software products out there, but they'll never be able to take away my right to choose. Without Linux, I probably wouldn't say that with such confidence!!! PPSS Microsoft has proven that performance, is in fact, not everything, but Gnome, and KDE have taken that point to an extreme. PPPSSS I'm looking for that to change within 5 years.
