Are you sure? The odds of Microsoft getting something down to the point of being more efficient than the competition happens roughly as often as I win a prize over $5 from the Oregon Lottery. Odds of winning a prize over $5 is something like 1:800 if you play, significantly worse if you don't (and I don't regularly play). I would confirm this before you take it as gospel, I think someone's yankin your chain. -- Paul Johnson baloo@ursine.dyndns.org http://ursine.dyndns.org/~baloo/
