 I think Linux is going to start becoming the operating system of choice,
 especially with the release of redhat 5 and the popularity of there use
 in the movie Titanic (6 boxes networked together). I think however that
 microsoft has a few tricks up its sleeve left, for one thing I have heard
 that after 98 Microsoft will start moving everything to the NT Kernal and
 Issue something along the lines of a converter or 'upgrade' to move users
 over to NT. 
... We now return to our regularly scheduled flame-throwing.
