I think the curtain is closing on anyone being able to use that argument anymore. It also sounds a little like payback time. BG dissed em last time, now they get a little karma. "When it crosses my mind to do something, I don't ask why, I ask why not. And usually there's no reason not to, so I just go ahead. It's given me the strangest collection of hats"

Gotta love the spin. Never mind that Hailstorm and Passport are the most blatant attempts yet at erecting toolbooths to collect the Micros~1 tax, instead they "[...]let users of Windows XP and other Microsoft products carry out many Web tasks more easily[...]." But I guess the WagEd types are happy, so that's all that matters.... jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)
