- Does Dell include the text processing system?
-
- In any case, I can see how Dell's including Merge is a good idea. And, after
- all, nobody's forcing you to get Dell instead of ESIX or MST (do they include
- the text processing system?). That's what competition is all about.
-
- If you're going to slam people for price, there are lots better targets.
-
- But I wouldn't slam unbundling. Because it's one way to build a good basic
- "UNIX Lite" that can compete with W/NT and OS/2 in their own ground.
