- So you take the word of a beta tester, who might or might not be wrong
- but right now looks to be wrong, and start flaming away at MS. Lets see
- there was talk of sending the code to the FTC and breaking up MS, and
- all other sorts of ranting and raving, on the word of said beta tester.
- I can see it now " Oboy heres something else we can bash MS on pant, pant."
- How about saying your sorry and that you promise to hold off on the
- flamethrower trigger until you get your facts straight. That includes
- all the other O/S 2 fans who jumped on this thread because they could
- take a swing at MS.
- Just the way I see it.
