RE: When is a Windows network not a Windows network

Joe,
I agree with your reasoning if I could accept your premise.

I believe the premise for your argument is that new extensions only
available through IE are so far superior to all other methods that one must
choose to use IE's specialized extensions.  That has not been my experience.

Further to that reasoning, it has been my experience that Microsoft's track
record of "embrace, extend, exterminate" will continue with IE and in the
end you will have used your own shovel to dig your grave.

I agree with you that this is not a religious issue.  Many of us have  heard
the M$ choir and we are not ready to be baptized.

<LOL!>

I have to return the favor, then, Leif! I, in turn, agree with you. There
are certainly issues of scale to be addressed, but in the end it is a
business decision, not a religious one. That's all I was trying to say.
