- Sheesh, folks, do we have to go through the bundling versus unbundling
- thing again? Isn't it enough that buyers have a choice? Isn't that a

- Much as folks like Larry would not believe it, there are many UNIX users
- out there who have no need for DOS partitions, DOS emulation, or
- whatever. Giving them a choice of whether to buy Merge bundled or not is
- certainly better than forcing the choice, one way or another.
