  29. Not surprised.  Any company that makes a strategic decision based on a
  30. product that it can't buy immediately is looking down a quick path to
  31. bankrupcy.   
  32.  
  33. A more fair comparison would have been with Windows 3.1 - at least
  34. that can be purchased.  And in large quantities.
