I don't see how this is. How is anything to do with PC's safe from Gates? When Gates'
owns the browser, he'll decide the new standards for content distribution and creation in
the same way he's done with applications. Of course, he could spread himself too thin...

We'd all like to start doing things differently. I agree with you, I'd like to start
anew. And I think I will. (I am at least going to give it an effort) But I'm not going to
run into another business and draw another line in the sand and wait for Bill to come and
try and cross it. I drew the line, Bill crossed it, and now, we tango.
